Cooking Tools You’ll Need

• Parchment paper or wax paper to prevent your cookies from sticking to the baking sheet
• A large mixing bowl to combine your ingredients
• Your microwave or a double boiler to melt your chocolate

Ingredients

• Peanut butter: You have options with your peanut butter choice depending on your preference. You can opt for creamy or crunchy peanut butter for this recipe.
• Butter: This is another essential ingredient for your recipe. It should be soft, but not completely melted.
• Powdered sugar: Powdered sugar will add a lot of flavor and sweetness to your Peanut Butter Balls.
• Rice Krispies cereal: The cereal will provide amazing texture to your buckeyes. You want to crush them slightly, so they’re somewhere between their original texture and a fine dust. Also, you don’t have to use the Rice Krispies brand, you can opt for an off-brand as well.
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips: You can pick the chocolate chips of your choice.
• Vegetable shortening: This recipe works best with soft vegetable shortening

Rice Krispy Peanut Butter Balls

You want to start by lining your cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent your balls from sticking to the cookie sheet.

Then, combine your peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl until you have a smooth and creamy mixture. A heavy-duty stand mixer makes this easy

Now it’s time to add the cereal. You will add it to your peanut butter mix until everything is combined well.

Next, you will use your mixture to create your peanut butter balls and place them on a cookie sheet. Then, put them in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 30 minutes.

After your peanut butter balls chill for 30 minutes, you want to prepare the chocolate chip coating.

How To Melt Chocolate For Peanut Butter Balls

You have two options for melting your chocolate chips. You can place them in a microwave for 1 minute and stir, then continue heating them for 20-30 seconds. Continue to do this until your chocolate is melted.

An alternative is to use a double boiler. To do this, you boil a pot of water.  Then place a heat-safe bowl containing your chocolate chips on top of the pot.

The heat will melt your chocolate chips. Be sure to monitor your mixture closely and stir it regularly.

To avoid the white film forming on the chocolate, you’ll need to temper your chocolate which can be a little more involved. I usually skip this step, but here is a great tutorial.

After your chocolate melts, it’s time for the fun part. You want to dip your Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies into your chocolate mixture and place them on a cookie sheet until they’re firm.

How to store Peanut Butter Balls

If you’re going to eat them within a few days, you should place any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

Alternatively, they freeze well in an airtight container for several weeks. These are a great make-ahead Christmas candy for the holidays.
