Peanut Butter Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

18 ounces creamy peanut butter (2 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
1 lb powdered sugar (3 3/4 cups, slightly under)
chocolate, for dipping melted (see instructions)

Preparation

Mix peanut butter and soft butter until well mixed.
Add Rice Krispies and mix well.
Add powdered sugar; mix well. (I found it easier to mix with my hands).
Mold into melon ball-sized balls.
Put in refrigerator until cold.
Melt chocolate as per instructions on package. I use coating chocolate bar squares that comes in the one pound or two pound packages and melt in microwave. I usually double the recipe. You can use a bag of chocloate chips and 1/2 bar paraffin, if desired, and cook in double boiler or microwave. I have fixed both ways and perfer the chocolate squares.
Dip balls into chocolate and drain on waxed paper. I store my in the refrigerator.
