Chocolate Coated Peanut Butter Balls No Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Mix butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until well blended. More or less powdered sugar can be used to make mixture more or less dry.
• Make 1 inch balls and freeze for about 20 minutes or until firm.
• Microwave chocolate chips for 60 seconds, stopping every 15 seconds to check and stir. Adding some vegetable shortening can make the chocolate thinner and easier work with.
• Remove balls from freezer and dip most of the way into the chocolate, coating all but a small circle on top. Using a toothpick for this works well but simply dipping it in and pulling it out with a fork also works. Place completed buckeyes on wax paper and allow to harden. Refrigerate if needed.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and peanut butter. Microwave for 1 minute.
• Using a fork, stir together the melted butter and peanut butter until smooth. Microwave additional 20 seconds, as needed.
• Add the powdered sugar and rice cereal to the bowl. Gently mix together until fully incorporated.
• Using your hands, roll the mixture into approximately 30-40 1-inch balls (2 ½ cm). Place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chunks. Microwave for 60-75 seconds, stopping to check and stir every 30 seconds.
• Drop the frozen balls in the melted chocolate one at a time, use a fork to roll around to ensure an even coating. Place back on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
• Garnish with additional rice cereal while the chocolate is still warm. Chill until the chocolate has set.
• Enjoy!
