I love chocolate... and I love peanut butter... put them together and you usually have something that I just can not resist!
Every Christmas I make Peanut Butter Balls, they are my absolute favorite and I look forward to making them every year. I usually give lots away as gifts, but I am very picky about who I give them too and how many I give away, as I could eat these ALL day long; and I want those that I give them to to really appreciate and savor them as I do. They are not hard too make, just a little time consuming and slightly messy! I have not made them yet, I usually make them about a week before Christmas, but I am already dreaming of them!
Peanut Butter Balls
2 cups Rice Krispies
2 cups peanut butter
2 cups confectioners sugar
2 TBSP margarine
1/2 tsp vanilla
chocolate candy coating or chocolate chips (I use chocolate chips, just melting them in the microwave)
Mix everything except the chocolate chips with a spoon first, then with hands. (I usually put on latex gloves to do this, it makes it a lot less messy. I keep a box of these handy in the kitchen for use when handling raw meat and other messy things.) Chill in the refrigerator. Roll into 1-inch balls. Melt the chocolate. Rolls balls in the chocolate and place on waxed paper in the refrigerator. Enjoy!!

I just love the homemade candy at Christmas time and Peanut Butter balls are some of my favortie to, as well as potato candy and fudge, and peanut brittle, and I could go on and on. I think I may go make some of these little babies today, You've made them sound so good. Have a great day Brandie
All I have to say is "yum, yum, yum"! It is 1:30 AM and I'm hungry, I read this and we don't have any chocolate in the house! Grrrrrrrr :-(
Those sound sooooo good, I am definitely going to have to make those this Christmas. Thanks for sharing!
