Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients

• 2.25 cups creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup butter
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 3 cups crisp rice cereal
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps

1. Melt peanut butter and butter together in a medium saucepan over low heat; stir often.
2. Mix confectioners' sugar and cereal together in a large bowl until well combined. Pour in peanut butter mixture and stir until well combined; mixture will be crumbly but will hold together when pressed.
3. Form into 1-inch balls; place on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, 3 hours to overnight.
4. Melt chocolate in a double boiler over low heat.
5. Place 1 peanut butter ball into chocolate; use 2 forks to roll in mixture to coat. Let excess chocolate drip back into the pot; place on a wire rack set over parchment paper. Repeat with remaining peanut butter balls.
6. Refrigerate until firm before serving.
