Time 1h15m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups smooth peanut butter
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal®)
3 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)
3 cups milk chocolate chips
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat peanut butter and butter together in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Add vanilla extract and kosher salt and beat until combined. Add rice cereal and mix on low to combine; mixture will be quite thick.
  • Roll the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on one of the prepared sheets. Place in the freezer briefly while you make the chocolate coating.
  • Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave on high power in 20-second bursts, mixing after each.
  • Dip the cereal balls in the melted chocolate and place on the clean parchment-lined pan. You can use two forks to help you cover the balls in chocolate and move them to the prepared pan. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Let them set up, about 40 minutes.

BUCKEYES (CRISPY PEANUT BUTTER BONBONS)



Buckeyes (Crispy Peanut Butter Bonbons) image

I was unaware these were called 'buckeyes' until some midwestern friends informed me of their correct name. They were sort of an ad-lib dessert for a vegan/gluten-free catering job. I kept the recipe when I saw how fast they disappeared.

Categories     Candy

Time 40m

Yield 48 buckeyes, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (16 ounce) jar crunchy peanut butter (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 cups puffed rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Cream peanut butter and powdered sugar in bowl of an electric mixer. Add rice cereal and mix until incorporated. (I find that using a whisk attachment, as opposed to the paddle attachment, crushes up the cereal a bit more effectively and results in a better texture.).
  • Using a meatballer or a spoon, scoop out bits of the mixture and roll into 3/4" balls. Cover either two dinner plates or a cookie sheet in parchment and space the balls about 1" apart. Place in freezer for 15 minute to harden.
  • Melt chocolate in a double-boiler over the stove or on 50% power in your microwave for about 2 minutes, stopping to stir once. Remove peanut butter balls from freezer. Poke one with a toothpick and swirl about 3/4 of the way up the sides in the chocolate mixture. Return it to the parchment and repeat the process for the remaining candies.
  • Return tray of completed buckeyes to the freezer for 20 minutes, or until chocolate has hardened. Keep in freezer or refrigerator until serving. If frozen, allow to thaw 5 minutes before serving.

PEANUT BUTTER BON BONS



Peanut Butter Bon Bons image

Everyone that has tried them love them. I can't seem to keep enough of them made. Freezes well too!!! So you can save some for later !!!

Provided by Tammy Moore

Categories     Candies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1- 16 oz. box powdered sugar
1/2 c butter, melted
2 c peanut butter
3 c crushed rice krispies
1 pkg chocolate bark candy coating, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Mix powdered sugar, butter, peanut butter, & rice krispies, in a large bowl. Blend thoroughly with hands until dough forms. Roll into small balls ( approximately 1/4 inch in diameter.)
  • 2. Next place each ball onto waxed paper on the cookie sheet, & place in the freezer to harden
  • 3. Place chocolate almond bark in a microwave safe bowl & melt it a little at a time & stir in between until completely melted. Be sure not to let it burn.
  • 4. Remove peanut butter balls from freezer & dip them into the almond bark letting the excess drip off then place them back on the waxed paper to let harden. After they have hardened place them in an airtight container. Serve & enjoy. Recipe taken from : cooks.com called buckeyes I just replaced the chocolate chips & paraffin wax with the almond bark - this makes it so much easier. And instead I completely dipped them instead of leaving part of them undipped.

Tips:

  • Use fresh peanut butter for the best flavor. Natural peanut butter will give you a more intense peanut flavor than sweetened peanut butter.
  • If you don't have any corn syrup, you can use honey or maple syrup instead. Just be sure to use the same amount.
  • If you want your bonbons to be extra gooey, add a few more marshmallows to the mixture.
  • Be careful not to overcook the mixture. It should be thick and sticky, but not too hard.
  • If you have any trouble dipping the bonbons in the chocolate, you can use a fork to help you.
  • Store the bonbons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter rice krispie bonbons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover rice krispies. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and satisfying snack that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give peanut butter rice krispie bonbons a try!
