Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies

Last Updated on 2021-01-24 by Linda

Do you like Peanut Butter? Are you a fan of Chocolate?? Does the thought of them together make you smile?  Wow what a silly  question who doesn’t love them together if you love both of them right. Today I thought I would share my Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies.
 
Fun Fact my better half hates peanut butter desserts but his boys and I adore them. Thinking about that concept I should not mind right?  because that just means more for me, on the down side it also means I could be the only one eating that stuff when the boys are away.

Baking for the Holidays

Well continuing on with my baking series here is a little no bake, easy for everyone recipe to try. This is one of those memory recipes for me. Every Christmas growing up, my mom,my sisters and I would make the same Christmas goodies– peanut butter balls, mocha cakes and scotch cakes .
 
I loved helping my mom make these special treats during the Holidays. I always look forward to  making this chocolate peanut butter balls recipe with friends and family each year. They’re the best peanut butter and chocolate treat in my opinion

Peanut Butter Balls or Buck Eyes


Now, I realize that some of you call these “Buckeyes” or “Buckeye Balls”. Major difference true Peanut Butter Balls are completely covered in chocolate and true Buckeyes are bare on top.  I actually had never heard of buckeyes until I got hooked on Pinterest.  Searching for peanut butter desserts and they would pop up in my feed.

It didn’t take me long to realize they were quite similar but I grew up calling them peanut butter balls, so peanut butter balls they are.

 

What you will need for Peanut Butter Ball with Rice Krispies

  • 2 cups  peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2  cups icing sugar
  • 2 cups coconut
  • 4 cups rice krispies
  • 12 ounces chocolate chips ( small bit of oil or paraffin wax)

ingredients for peanut butter balls

Let’s Get Rolling or Balling

  1. Mix peanut butter and butter,  stir in coconut and icing sugar
  2. Add in rice krispies ( best to mix by hand but very messy)
  3. Chill one hour
  4. Roll into one inch balls
  5. Melt chips with bit of oil or paraffin wax,  dip each ball in chocolate, set on cookie sheet and let chocolate harden
  6. I cool them in the garage and then keep them stored there over the holiday season

    Tips for Peanut Butter Balls

    I recommend putting the peanut butter mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours before rolling.

    Also if you find that the balls aren’t rolling very well and seem to be sticky, add a little more icing sugar and Rice Krispies.

    It’s easier to dip the balls if they’re refrigerated for an hour before dipping them in the melted chocolate
