Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls

My favorite combination of flavors has to be chocolate and peanut butter! And, there is only one word to explain this delicious creation...amazing! As you can probably tell from my previous posts, I like my share of sweets. I'm also always looking for options that are great for sharing or entertaining. This recipe is easy to make, but does take a bit of time, due to having to dip each ball in chocolate. I prefer milk chocolate with my peanut butter creations, but you can also use white, dark, or semi-sweet. It really depends on your taste :)

Here's what you'll need:

3 cups of rice crispies cereal
2 cups of chunky peanut butter
2 cups of powdered sugar
1 stick of butter, melted
1 23oz bag of chocolate chips

Start by mixing the rice crispies, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and butter all in a bowl.

Mix until combined. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate all of the ingredients.

Roll the mixture into ping pong ball sized balls, and place onto a wax paper coated cookie sheet. Freeze for 3 hours or overnight.

Melt the chocolate and dip each ball, making sure to coat the entire thing. Drop onto a cookie sheet covered in wax paper. Once you have a full pan, place back into the freezer to set the chocolate. You'll need to work fast during this process, because the chocolate will start to cool and the balls will start to warm, which will make it harder for the coating process.

After the chocolate is set, serve and enjoy!!
