Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter softened
- 2 cups crunchy peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 cups Rice Krispies
- 12 ounces semi sweet choc chips or chocolate almond bark
- 1 Tablespoon butter flavored shortening
Instructions
- In a bowl combine softened butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar and Rice Krispies with hand mixer until well mixed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
- After mixture has chilled form mixture into balls the size of a walnut place on sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan or double boiler melt chocolate chips or almond bark over low heat with the shortening. You can also use a microwave to melt chocolate just make sure to melt in small increments, stirring after each time so you don't seize (burn) the chocolate. Dip balls into chocolate mixture.
- Place peanut butter ball on fork tines, dip into melted chocolate, remove and let any excess chocolate drip off then place back onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let cool until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers. These keep best in the refrigerator or freezer so they don't melt.
