Here’s the recipe, as found in the Best Holiday Recipes edition.
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
33/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
3 cups crisp rice cereal
4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet
chocolate chips
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon shortening,
divided
1/3 cup white baking chips
1. In a large bowl, beat peanut butter and butter until blended; gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Stir in cereal. Shape into 1-in. balls. Refrigerate until chilled.
2. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and 1/4 cup shortening; stir until smooth. Dip balls into chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on a waxed paper-lined pan. Let stand until set.
3. In a microwave, melt white baking chips and remaining shortening. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over candies. Refrigerate until set.
My little sous chef helped me to mix the peanut butter, butter, sugar, and cereal together in the bowl. At first, he stirred it with a spatula…
I rolled the dough into balls, handed them to LC, and he put them on the trays, which then went in the fridge while we ran a few errands.

how much of the ingredients do you use? And how do you make the chocolate coating?
dancers4life says
Beatrice, I’m so sorry the recipe wasn’t there; it somehow got lost in my transfer from Blogger to WordPress! The full recipe, amounts, and info about the coating are there now for you! Also, for the coating, you can use those chocolate candy melts!
Lynn says
Would you please clarify one thing for me about the confectioner’s sugar? The posted recipe reads as follows:
33/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
Is that 3 and 3/4 cups or just 3/4 cup where an extra 3 got in?
Just wanted to make sure before I started.
dancers4life says
It’s 3 and 3/4 cups, Lynn!
