Peanut Butter Heaven...

Here is a super easy, no cook recipe, that's great for holiday parties or a thursday...

 



Peanut Butter Balls:

6 c. rice krispies cereal
1c creamy peanut butter
1 jar marshmallow cream
1 12 oz pk semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1T. shortening ( optional, just makes the chocolate look shiny and beautiful )


In a large bowl, mix marshmallow cream and peanut butter, add cereal. Mix well but try not to crush the cereal too much. Form this mixture into 1" or so sized balls.
In a separate microwave safe bowl melt chocolate morsels and shortening together using 45 second intervals. Stir well every 45 seconds. Do this until chocolate is melted and creamy. DO NOT over cook, it will burn! Dip peanut butter balls into chocolate. Cool on a wax paper lined tray. I usually put mine in the fridge, they cool faster and taste really good cold!
Once the chocolate has hardened serve them up on your pretty holiday platters or just shove them in your mouth and enjoy all that creamy peanut butter goodness... either way ;)
