Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, confectioners sugar and melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. For the next step, the best way that I've found to make a smooth filling is to use your hands to mix everything together.
- 2. Line a baking sheet with foil. Roll the peanut butter filling into 1 inch balls and line the baking sheet with rows of the balls. Set the baking sheet in the freezer for 5-7 minutes to chill the peanut butter balls for easier dipping.
- 3. While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the chocolate in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl that is deep enough for dipping. I melted 6 blocks of chocolate almond bark at a time, stirring at 45 second intervals until smooth.
- 4. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Insert a toothpick or wooden skewer into a peanut butter ball and then dip it into the chocolate, turning quickly to cover the entire candy.
- 5. Place onto a second baking tray that has also been lined with foil. Swirl the chocolate on the top of each candy for a pretty design. Refrigerate until the chocolate had completely dried. Store the candies in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE COVERED RICE KRISPIE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Mix everything together and roll into balls and place on wax paper. Chill for 15 to 20 minutes. While peanut butter mixture is chilling, melt chocolate: 23 ounce bag of milk chocolate chips melted with 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening or chocolate melting chips. If using chocolate chips then you will need to place the balls in the fridge to set up. If using chocolate candy coating then they should set up at room temp. Cover balls with chocolate. Makes approximately 4 dozen.
Tips:
- Ensure your peanut butter is at room temperature. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent the balls from becoming too crumbly.
- Use a large bowl to mix the ingredients. This will give you plenty of room to stir and combine everything thoroughly.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the dough tough.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more powdered sugar. If the dough is too dry, add more peanut butter.
- To make the balls easier to roll, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping.
- To prevent the chocolate from sticking to your hands, dip your fingers in cold water before rolling the balls.
- Place the balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to prevent them from sticking.
- Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the chocolate set and firm up.
