Ingredients
- 1 jar unsalted crunchy natural peanut butter
- 1/2 - 3/4 jar salted crunchy natural peanut butter
- 1 stick of butter, softened
- 1-1/3 C. powdered sugar
- 7+ C. of puffed rice cereal ("Rice Krispies")
- 1-2 packages of chocolate bits
Directions
Using a mixer, blend peanut butter and butter with sugar.
Add the rice cereal and mix well. The dough will be very stiff, and it may be necessary to hand mix the last cup.
Add additional peanut butter, sugar, or rice krispies as needed to provide desired taste/texture
Chill dough thoroughly.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, and place on wax paper. Freeze until solid.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler.
Dip each ball into the chocolate to cover. Return to the wax paper and chill or freeze until chocolate has set.
Store balls in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
makes approx. 7 dozen
Hints: The dough will be fairly sticky even after it is chilled. Food preparation gloves are helpful for rolling it into balls. Freezing the balls in a metal brownie tin, and then placing the tin on a flat ice pack to stay cold while dipping them in the chocolate makes that step much easier.
