Peanut Butter Balls
Prep: 35 minutes
Stand: 10 minutes
Makes about 25 candies
Ingredients:
½ cup of peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter, softened
¼ cup of crisp rice cereal
1 cup of powdered sugar
6 ounces chocolate-flavored candy coating, cut up
- In a bowl stir together peanut butter and butter. Gradually add cereal and powdered sugar, stirring until combined. If necessary, knead with hands until smooth. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls; place on a baking sheet lined with waxes paper. Set aside.
- In a small heavy saucepan melt candy coating over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat; cool for 5 minutes. Using a fork, dip balls, one at a time, into coating, allowing excess to drip off. Return to waxed paper; let stand until coating is set (about 10 minutes). To save for another day you can store them, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 month (or freeze for up to 3 months-but be sure and thaw at room temp. before serving once frozen).
