Peanut Butter Balls {Wendy Bowman}

Wendy is my neighbor, my friend, and the mother of one of Jaxsen's best friends, Kyle. The other day the boys finished sledding and she served them up Peanut Butter Balls. Jax LOVED, LOVED, LOVED them. He ran into the house, dripping with snow proclaiming that I MUST email Wendy and get the recipe 'cause they're better than No Bake Cookies and his new FAVORITE treat ever!!! 

"Jax you need to tell Wendy how much you like them and ask for the recipe." 

He countered with, "Can't you just do your Facebook thing?" 

"Nooo, you tell her. It will make her sooo happy :D" 

He did and here's the recipe. Can't wait to try them myself!!!

 

2 c. creamy peanut butter 

1/2 c. butter 

4 c. confectioners' sugar 

3 c. crisp rice cereal 

2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS Melt peanut butter and butter in saucepan, over low heat. In a large bowl, mix crispy rice cereal and confectioners' sugars well. Pour melted peanut butter and butter over cereal and sugar and blend together thoroughly. 

Form into 1 inch or smaller balls, spread on cookie sheets, chill till firm in refrigerator (over night is okay). 

Melt chocolate in double boiler and keep melted while working with balls. A teaspoon is best to use in dipping the balls in chocolate. Dip good and place on cookie sheet. As you dip them place them back on cookie sheet and keep chilled till firm.
