Time 1h

Yield 36-42 balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups slightly crushed Rice Krispies
chocolate almond bark, melted
1 tablespoon solid shortening

Steps:

  • Mix together the powdered sugar, butter, peanut butter.
  • Add crushed rice crispies- mix well.
  • Roll into 1 inch size balls.
  • Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Melt the almond bark with 1 tablespoon of solid shortening (do not add water, milk, oil, margarine or butter to thin- this will cause the chocolate to seize).
  • Dip chilled balls and let set on waxed paper.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the nuts by hand. Just make sure they are finely chopped.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit of honey or maple syrup.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add a little bit of almond flour or oat flour.
  • Roll the balls in chopped nuts or coconut flakes for a festive touch.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
