Ingredients

2 cups crunchy peanut butter

1/2 cup butter 1 stick - softened

3 cups powdered sugar 3 to 4 cups

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups crispy rice cereal

16 oz chocolate candy coating CandiQuik

1/4 cup salted peanuts roughly chopped - optional

Instructions

Combine peanut butter and butter together in a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined.

Stir in vanilla extract.

Gradually add in the powdered sugar, half a cup at a time until mixture is nice and smooth and you can easily form balls.

Stir in crispy rice cereal.

Shape into 1 inch balls and refrigerate for 30 minutes on a waxed paper lined baking sheet. (You can also freeze for 20 minutes.)

Melt candy coating following melting directions on package.

Dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate using a toothpick or dipping tools (I use these.)

Transfer to wax paper and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top immediately.

Let candy stand until the chocolate is firm.

Store in an airtight container.
