These were great and semi-easy. I didnt melt the chocolate correctly so they were a bit lumpy. I might leave out the rice crispies next time.

Very good. I had to add 1/2 c extra peanut butter to make the balls hold together.

Very tasty! These disappeared quickly at an office party - I will definitely make them again!

I made these on new years eve with 3 young kids at my side. It was fun, easy, and not very messy (I did the chocolate part).I took the advice of other reviewers and cut down on the sugar and I think that helped a lot. From start to finish they were done in a little over an hour. A few tips - To cool them faster between steps chill in the freezer for 10 min. Also, to keep the peanut butter mix from sticking to your hands when rolling, dip your fingers in a bowl of cold water. Over all a yummy treat!

I thought this recipe turned out really good, except I used a whole jar of peanut butter instead of just 2 cups. It was tricky to stir, but I got it all blended good enough. Getting the balls to shape into circles was the hardest for me. You defintely have to work fast when using the melted chocolate from the microwave. My family was very happy with the results, even though the presentation wasn't perfect.

I knew the combination of these ingredients would appeal to my family's taste however, I wasn't interested in the time consuming task of rolling so many balls. Instead, I halved the recipe, pressed the peanut butter mixture into an 8x8 pan, poured the melted chocolate on top and chilled until firm before cutting into squares. The mixture turned out a little crumbly but I believe this could be solved by using 1/4 cup less powdered sugar. The taste however, is wonderful.

A bit too sweet and peanut butter mix was a bit too dry to work with easily. I would recommend adding less powdered sugar or a bit more peanut butter.

These are so good. Dipped them in chocolate almond bark then melted some white almond bark in a small sandwich bag, snipped a tiny bit off the tip and put fancy little lines across each one. Then set each one in a mini baking cup before giving as gifts. Looks beautiful and tastes even better.

This made 50 balls. Next time I would cut back on the sugar as others have recommended. Adding 2 tbsp of shortening to the choclate is very helpful, or using chocolate candy coating works very well too.

These were great! Very easy and turned out wonderful. Putting them in the fridge before dipping in chocolate is the key for sure. Thanks for the great recipe!!

ok! im kindof new at this but im going to give it a try! if you are having problems melting the chocolate and it becomes grainy. substitute it with an 8 oz. hershey bar and add a 1/3 of a bar of wax to the mix. the wax helps to harden the choc. to the peanut butter balls. my grandmother taught her grandson well....bless her heart! have fun with this!

This is the same recipe that my mother made when I was a kid. Last year I started the tradition of making them every year but we had lost the recipe during many moves and my mother couldn't remember the details of any of it. Thank you so much for submitting this recipe so I can continue the tradition!!!

I just finished making the peanut butter balls and I am disappointed at how dry they are. It was difficult to roll the mixture into balls. I haven't even attempted to dip them in the chocolate yet. I am going to try a new batch. It is necessary to either decrease the amount of sugar or increase the amount of peanut butter. I attempted to put a toothpick in each ball before chilling so the dipping process would be easier; however, the balls cracked and crumbled.

Good taste but not as easy as stated. The peanut butter was sticky and the chocolate process wasn't as easy as some reviewers said. I probably won't make these again.
