No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls Recipe

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

Instructions

1. Melt peanut butter and butter together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.
2. In a large bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and cereal until well mixed. Pour in the melted peanut butter mixture and stir until thoroughly combined; the mixture will be crumbly but should hold its shape when pressed.
3. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to firm up.
4. Melt chocolate using a double boiler over low heat, stirring occasionally.
5. Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, using 2 forks to ensure even coating. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the pot. Place the coated balls on a wire rack positioned over parchment paper. Repeat until all peanut butter balls are coated.
6. Refrigerate the chocolate-covered peanut butter balls until firm before serving.
