Peanut Butter Balls
Peanut Butter Balls
makes approx. 72 balls
Combine in large bowl the following:
3 C rice krispies cereal
2 C powdered sugar
1 18 oz jar of chunky Peanut Butter
1 stick of melted margarine
Mix well with hands and shape into 1/2 to 1 inch balls and chill 1
hour. While the balls are chilling Melt 3 C semi sweet chips and a 1
to 2 inch square of paraffin in a double boiler. Using fork and spoon
dip balls in chocolate mixture place on wax paper and chill.
My secret - I freeze the balls on cookie sheets for about 30 - 45
minutes before I dip them - this makes the chocolate set much quicker
especially if you kitchen is overly warm from all the Xmas baking.
This is a good do ahead recipe the can be made months ahead and frozen
until needed.
