How to Make Crunchy Peanut Butter Balls
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1 cup of marshmallow creme. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Add 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal (or your preferred cereal) and stir gently until all the cereal is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of shortening.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth (approximately 1-2 minutes total).
- Roll the peanut butter and cereal mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Insert a toothpick or fork into each ball.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Gently remove the toothpick or fork.
- Place the chocolate-covered balls onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet or tray.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
