Author: Denise
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 dozen
Ingredients
For filling, cream together:
½ C butter
1 lb powdered sugar
2 C creamy peanut butter (I use Jiff)
Add:
3 C Rice Krispies (I use only name brand as I've tried generic and it doesn't work as well, trust me!)
Chill; however, if this mixture sticks together well, skip the chilling.
Chocolate mixture to rolls balls in:
2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
⅓ stick of paraffin
Instructions
Roll filling into balls the size of walnuts, or a bit smaller.
Chocolate mixture:
I have melted the chocolate chips and paraffin 3 ways:
By microwave---at 20 second intervals
In a saucepan on low heat.
In a double boiler (or my own double boiler contraption of a bowl of chocolate into a saucepan of hot water.
All three work wonderfully--whatever your preference.
If the chocolate mixture hardens before you're finished, microwave a bit. Sometimes I've added a little more paraffin, which makes it all the more shiny and tempting to eat. :)
Dip balls with a spoon or fork into chocolate mixture. Place on waxed paper to dry.
Refrigerate
Enjoy!
