These peanut butter candies take me way back. They were one of the first candies I experimented with back in college when I discovered my love of baking and making sweets. They are no-bake, so you can't go wrong. And who doesn't love peanut butter and chocolate? They make a great little candy to add to your holiday baking list. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter, room temperature
2 Tbl butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 cup Rice Krispies (crush them up a bit before adding to the recipe)
2 cups chocolate chips, melted (I like milk chocolate, but you can use semi or dark, too)
Directions:
Combine the peanut butter and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Combine the sifted powdered sugar and crushed Rice Krispies together. Add the powdered sugar mix and the peanut butter mix together. Stir and then get in there with your hands to combine completely.
Roll peanut butter mix into balls. You can make them as small or as big as you like. (We opted for a medium size and got about two dozen). Put them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop in the freezer for thirty minutes.
Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for one minute. Stir. If the chocolate isn't fully melted, microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir.
Take the candy out of the freezer and roll in the melted chocolate. Alternatively, you can dip each PB ball into the chocolate so it is only half covered.
Pop the chocolate covered candies back into the freezer for about twenty minutes. Serve immediately or place them in a container and store in the freezer or fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy!
