CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Cookies? Candy? We don’t know what they are so we call them no-bake deliciousness! This was (and still is) our kids favorite chocolate snack. They request them all the time, even though they are grown and have families of their own now.

This recipe has several steps but none are difficult. It’s messy, yes, but not hard.

Begin by mixing the cereal and powdered sugar together in a large bowl.

Add the peanut butter and butter to a small saucepan. Over medium-low heat, stir until completely melted.

Add the peanut butter to the cereal and mix thoroughly.

Form into one-inch balls and place on a large baking sheet. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

In a double boiler over low heat, melt the chocolate stirring constantly to prevent scorching the chocolate. Once melted, remove from the heat. I don’t have a double boiler, so I place a glass bowl over a medium pot of simmering water.

Place a few of the peanut butter balls into the chocolate and turn to cover them completely. Don’t overcrowd them or it will cool the chocolate too much. Once coated, place on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least one hour or until the chocolate hardens.

This made almost 2 sheet pans of chocolate peanut butter balls. That seems like a lot but, trust me, they won’t last long.
