It's a tradition for my sister and me to bring these chocolaty confections to functions and family gatherings, notes Rhonda Williams of Mayville, Michigan. Ingredients:
2 cups creamy peanut butter |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
4 cups confectioners' sugar |
3 cups crisp rice cereal |
4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1/4 cup shortening |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter and butter. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat.
2. In a large bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and cereal. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal; toss to coat. Roll into 1-in. balls; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until chilled.
3. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip balls in chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off. Return to baking sheets; refrigerate until set. Yield: about 5-1/2 dozen.
