Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

These are my dad's favorite! Not exactly the healthiest recipe but they are small and I think you can have a little bit of everything in moderation :)

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

 

Ingredients

1/4 cup of melted Earth Balance Brand Butter
1 cup Peanut Butter
2 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
1.5 cups of Dark Chocolate Chips
1 cup Powdered Sugar
Candy Sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

Melt Butter. Once melted stir together with peanut butter until combined. Stir in crispy rice cereal and powdered sugar- you may need to use your hands to get the right consistency. Form tablespoon size balls with the peanut butter mixture. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 3 hours. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is melted. One at a time dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate. Place back onto the cookie sheet. You can sprinkle with candy sprinkles after this step if you wish. Refrigerate until chocolate is hardened (usually about 1 hour).
