Peanut Butter Balls



1 1/2 cups rice crispy cereal, measure out then crush
1 cup smooth peanut butter, I use natural
6 TBLS soft room temperature butter
1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
semi sweet chocolate chips, enough to melt and dip the balls

Mix the peanut butter and butter

Add powdered sugar then add rice crispy cereal.

mixture will be thick. 

roll in balls, I use a small ice cream scoop

place in refrigerator for 30 mins. (I was impatient and didn't chill them and it worked)

Melt chocolate chips in microwave at 15-30 second intervals until melted.

Dip the peanut butter balls, place on parchment paper to harden.

when hard, place in mini muffin papers.

Makes around 40 balls depending on the size.
