Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Crispies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup extra crunch peanut butter
  • ¼ cup softened butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups Rice Crispies cereal (slightly crushed)
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 TBS vegetable shortening (or coconut oil)

Instructions

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar. Stir in cereal until well combined.

Shape into balls, place on a cookie sheet, and chill for at least 30 minutes. In a large microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and shortening.

Heat for 1 minute and stir, then continue heating for 20-30 seconds and stirring after each interval until chocolate is almost melted. Stir until completely smooth. Dip balls into chocolate and place on a cookie sheet until firm.
