GOOF BALLS
This is a delicious candy for the holiday season, and is a real hit at school concession stands. I got the recipe from my sister-in-law's mother-in -law. It does take some time, but is well worth the effort. I double the recipe to use a whole can of sweetened condensed milk.

YUMMY GOOF BALLS
These were sweet, fluffy, flaky and oh so good. They smelled like donuts while cooking! Everyone kept asking "what are you cooking?" We tried baking these too, but preferred them fried (fried always wins!). They would be great for a bake sale, after-school snack and would look pretty on a holiday dessert table. If you want to...

GOOF BALLS
As a dialysis nurse I enjoyed many treats brought to the center for the staff to share. This was one of them. Takes some time but well worth the effort. A helper and an assembly line will help. I make these every year for Christmas and they don't last long. You can't believe how good they are.

Steps:
- 1. In the top of a double boiler melt and keep warm the first three ingredients. Using a fork or pick, dip and swirl marshmallow to coat then roll in rice krispies. I crush the cereal. Put on wax paper to set. Makes 75-85 delicious treats.
Tips:
- Make sure the peanut butter is at room temperature so that it is easier to mix.
- If the mixture is too sticky to roll, add more powdered sugar.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the balls tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out, as this will help the balls hold their shape.
- If you don't have time to chill the dough, you can roll it out and cut it into balls immediately, but the balls may be more likely to fall apart.
- Use a variety of sprinkles to decorate the balls, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or colored sugar.
- Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
