CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

This is a recipe I got from a neighbor many years ago. I make these sweet and crunchy treats at Christmas and then again for Easter. I've also made these tasty candies using Cocoa Krispies (instead of Rice Krispies) and smooth peanut butter instead of crunchy. Another traditional family favorite!

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 Tbsp butter, melted
2 c peanut butter, crunchy
2 c confectioner's sugar
3 1/2 c rice krispies cereal
16 oz milk chocolate melting wafers

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the butter, peanut butter, confectioner's sugar and rice krispies.
  • 2. Mix well with hands until well combined. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • 3. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Form chilled peanut butter mixture into 1 1/2" balls and place on prepared cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 35-40 minutes.
  • 4. When ready to dip peanut butter balls, melt chocolate in microwave, being very careful not to burn.
  • 5. Dip each egg into melted chocolate and place back onto prepared cookie sheet, drizzling extra chocolate over top to hide and holes left from dipping.
  • 6. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour to "set", then place into an airtight container with waxed paper between the layers.
  • 7. If I've used all of the melted chocolate and I have some peanut butter balls left, I usually just wrap them in a square of waxed paper. Just roll them in the waxed paper and twist each end shut.
  • 8. Makes 25-30 candies, chocolate dipper and/OR wrapped.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: This will help the balls hold their shape better.
  • Chill the dough before rolling: This will make the balls easier to handle and less sticky.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to shape the balls: This will help ensure that they are all the same size and shape.
  • Roll the balls in chopped peanuts: This will give them a nice crunchy coating.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator: They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These crunchy peanut butter balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or coated in chocolate, these peanut butter balls are sure to be a hit.
