These are literally my absolute favorite of all the Christmas sweets my family makes. Sometimes when we run out of chocolate, we freeze the peanut butter balls and just pull them out whenever we want a quick treat. 100% absolutely perfect. They are so delicious that you will need to make them. Some recipes have rice krispies in them, but I have never made those or try them. So I guess you can try it out, but I have no opinion on those kinds. So, here's how it goes!
2 cups peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups crispy rice cereal
4 cups powdered sugar
12oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Melt peanut butter and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the vanilla, then add the powdered sugar and mix well. It might seem a little dry at first but will start holding together the more you mix. I usually just use my hands, so much easier! Form into 1-inch balls, firmly packed. Place on a cookie sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm.
Melt the chocolate chips and oil together over very low heat over the stove, stirring often. Dip each ball into the chocolate and put on a cookies sheet, that has wax paper over top. Make sure you have freezer room first though, and chill until firm.
You can eat these right after you dip them in chocolate, or after they have hardened, or even frozen. However you'd like to enjoy this sweet is totally up to you. Hope you like this one!
