Crispy Peanut Butter Balls

    ADVERTISEMENT

    In my humble opinion, chocolate and peanut butter is a duo that has no equal, and the smooth sweet and salty combo is what makes both peanut butter balls and peanut butter cups so deliciously successful. While I sincerely love those two treats to no end, I have recently fallen in love with these particular Peanut Butter Balls which use crisped rice cereal to add a delicate crunch to the center. They’re the same classic flavor duo, but with a lot more texture to enjoy. And you know what else makes them super easy to love? They take just five ingredients and a microwave to make.

    You could use your stovetop, but you certainly don’t need to. You just start by melting together some butter and peanut butter, so it’s easy to work with and then stirring in the crisped rice cereal and then the powdered sugar. It helps to work in that order, because the powdered sugar will seize things up a bit if it goes in first.

    INGREDIENTS

    • 1/2 cup butter, softened
    • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
    • 3 cups powdered sugar
    • 3 cups crisped rice cereal
    • Chocolate candy coating, as needed
