I'm a beginner with candy so my rating may not be very fair. The balls were so soft that when I was dipping them in the chocolate, they got deformed - still soooo tasty but I think next time, I'll add more rice cereal and maybe put the peanut butter ball mixture in the fridge to let them set a bit before dipping them in the chocolate. Then, use a toothpick to dip them?

Loved this recipe! Super easy and super good. I didn't have marshmallow cream, so, like another reviewer, substituted 18 large marshmallows, microwaved for 1 min & 30 sec to soften and added the PB. The result was perfect. Had to make another batch since the first one was devoured. Thank you for this recipe; it's a keeper!

My family and I loved this recipe!!!! I added 3 cups of rice krispies instead of what it called for and I substituted white and chocolate almond bark. With a few I double dipping them with the opposite kind of flavor and on others I drizzling a little of the opposite flavor on them to make them look a little fancier. They were a total hit!

My husband loved these, and I thought they were a great mix of chocolate, chewy, and crunchy. I used 2 cups of rice krispies (trying to get rid of what I had left in the box!) and the chocolate bark coating instead of chocolate chips. My husband rated them 5 stars and his only suggestion was to make them into patties instead of balls to make them easier to eat. They are going into my Christmas candy recipe box! Thanks for sharing Janice!

I was looking for a no-bake cookie and came across these. I had all the ingredients and decided to give them a try. I really liked them, so did my husband, and so did all the kids at my church I gave them too. The only thing different I did was more marshmellows and some vanilla. Yummy!

Delicious! I used 2 cups of crispies, milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet, and drizzled melted peanut butter chips over the top to make them look extra pretty. They were a hit.

I was given these as a Christmas gift from a co-worker last year and loved them! I immediately asked for the recipe and to my surprise, they are very easy to make!! I made them for my family Christmas get together and my entire family loved them!! I did not change the rice crispie amount. Before dipping in chocolate, I let them cool in the fridge for 5-10 mins.

These are just amazing! Brought them to a Christmas party and everybody loved them and asked for the recipe (did not want to give it because it was just so easy!). I did refrigerate them before dipping in chocolate as others have mentioned. Also just to add a decorative flare, melted some white chocolate and drizzled on top!
