PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Makes: 40-50 balls [depending upon size]

1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup butter [melted]
1 pound box powdered sugar
3 cups Rice Krispies
13 ounce semi-sweet chocolate bar

Mix peanut butter, butter and sugar. Blend until smooth. Add Rice Krispies. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Coat hands with butter and form mixture into small balls. Freeze (overnight if possible).

Melt chocolate in double boiler or microwave. Remove balls from freezer. Dip 1/2 of each ball into melted chocolate [using a toothpick as a ‘handle’] and set on waxed paper or parchment paper until cool.
