Instructions
- In a large bowl thoroughly mix the crushed corn flakes, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. You can start by mixing with a spoon, but you will need to get in there and mix with your hands. Feel free to do this part in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed.
- Take about 1 tablespoon or a bit more and roll them into balls and set them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
- Add 2 cups of the chocolate wafers to a heat safe bowl and place it over a pot of simmering water over low heat and temper the chocolate until it is melted, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and mix in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate using a rubber spatula until melted.
- Adding one peanut butter ball at a time to the melted chocolate bowl and completely coat it using two spoons to help move it around and then set aside on a sheet of parchment paper. Repeat the process until all the balls have been dipped.

- How to Store: You can keep these covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. Chill the covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. These will freeze amazingly well covered in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- These are fantastic eaten frozen straight from the freezer.
- Feel free to make the chocolate balls whatever size works for you and your family.
- Merckens or Wilton dipping/melting chocolate works best for this recipe (the highlighted words are affiliate links).
- To melt the chocolate in a microwave, add 2/3 of the chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 minute. Stir and return to the microwave and heat for :30 seconds. Repeat in 30-second bursts until it is completely melted. Finish by stirring in the remaining 1/3 of chocolate until mixed in and melted.
- You can substitute out milk chocolate for dark chocolate.
- Be sure to not let any water into the bowl of chocolate while tempering it or else it will seize up.
