Rice Krispie Peanut Butter Balls

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons salted butter

  melted
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 10 ounces chocolate melting wafers

  (or chocolate chips)

Instructions

• 1 In a small mixing bowl, mix together the melted butter and peanut butter.
• 2 Add the powdered sugar to the mixture, and combine.
• 3 Stir in the crispy rice cereal, mixing everything together 'til well blended.
• 4 Shape all of the crispy dough into 1-inch peanut butter balls. Take about a
  tablespoonful of the peanut butter mixture and begin to roll it between your
  hands. Shape it into as round of a ball as you can, and place it on a baking
  sheet lined with wax paper. Continue rolling the rest of the dough into balls.
• 5 Add toothpicks for dipping to each peanut butter ball.
• 6 Chill the whole sheet in the fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes.
• 7 Add the chocolate to a microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl; and melt, starting
  at 30 seconds, then stirring every 15-20 seconds, 'til melted and smooth.
• 8 Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer, and using the inserted
  toothpicks, dip every single peanut butter ball, fully immersing each one into
  the melted chocolate.
• 9 Place the dipped balls back onto the wax paper lined baking sheet. Remove the
  toothpicks, and cover over the hole by dabbing the chocolate with the end of the
  toothpick.
• 10 Chill the Krispie balls 'til set, probably about 15 to 20 minutes or so.
• 11 Rice Krispie peanut butter balls are best stored in between layers of wax paper,
  in an airtight container or festive Christmas tin, in the refrigerator for up to
  2 weeks.
