Ohhhh…these Chocolate Coated Krispy Peanut Butter Balls are downright delicious and they melt in your mouth – with a little bit of crunch. They are creamy, crunchy, chocolaty, peanut butterey bites of yumminess. Who would not like these?!?

This recipe has been in my repertoire of favorite sweet treats since I was in high school. Lets see… that is some 37 years ago. Yikes!! But to say that this recipe has past the test of time is an understatement. This is a “cookie” that my kids ask for Every. Single. Year.

Chocolate Coated Krispy Peanut Butter Balls come together quickly and do not need an oven since no baking is involved. Since I first started making these in high school, I can attest to the easiness of it! Plus there are only five ingredients! So easy and delicious!

My friends at Sunday Supper know that the perfect party for December is a cookie exchange! Everyone invited makes a batch of cookies to trade at the party. It’s a creative and fun way to spend some time with family and friends and take home some new recipes, too! So today we are sharing some of our favorite cookie recipes.

Chocolate Coated Krispy Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 pound powdered sugar
• 3 cups krispy rice cereal 

Directions

1. Melt butter in medium size stock pot over medium heat.
2. Add peanut butter to melted butter and continue heating over medium heat and peanut butter and butter are throughly melted and blended together.
3. Stir in vanilla
4. Turn heat to low and stir in powdered sugar – stir with wooden spoon until mixture is well blended.
5. Turn off heat and stir in krispy rice cereal. Mixture will become hard to mix, but continue stirring until everything is well blended.  
6. Roll mixture into small balls. My kids like them to be two bite sized.  
7. Melt chocolate over a double boiler.
8. Dip krispy peanut butter balls into chocolate, rolling to coat.
9. Set on parchment paper (or foil) to harden. 
10. I sprinkled mine with red and green sugar to make them a bit festive, but that is totally optional.
