Yum! I only use 1 1/2 cups rice krispies b/c I prefer a smoother texture. So good.

These weren't as easy as I had hoped. My mom makes Buckeyes around Christmas. I saw this recipe and thought why not. The chocolate didn't look so good on them. But they were still really good. I couldn't keep my husband out of them.

These were really tasty, but definitely didn't use 4 full cups of confectioner's sugar... Maybe 2 1/2-3 cups. These are delicious!

Excellent! Rave reviews from all tasters and many requests for the recipe. I used three cups sugar instead of four and just drizzled chocolate over them.

I love peanut butter balls. These treats were really good but I found that the recipe seemed a little heavy on confectioners sugar. I also had trouble getting these treats to look as pretty as they should, so as a novice baker be prepared for this challenge.

Wonderful! I used Ghirardelli candy making and dipping bar chocolate to cover the balls instead of the chocolate chips - it gives it that nice glossy look plus it's made for melting and dipping.

YUMMY! Brings back childhhod memories, as my mom made these too when I was a kid. Made them exactly as stated and they were good. They were even tasty without the chocolate coating.

I found this to be a great peanut butter ball recipe, however it calls for too much sugar. We made this with three cups of sugar and it was more than enough. So, feel free to cut back on the sugar and still have a great recipe.

I just finished my second batch of these. They are wonderfully easy and so yummy. I did cut the sugar to 3 cups. I also prefer them without the chocolate, but my kids like them with it.

I was so excited to make these with all the good reviews and all...and I must say I'm a little dissapointed. I followed the recipe, but added a 1/2c more peanut butter...and they are STILL not peanut buttery enough! Next time, I too would cut down on the amount of icing sugar because I can really taste it! I inserted toothpicks and chilled the balls over night, which made dipping much easier! The melted chocolate didn't look like there would be enough (I was right), so I just dipped half of each ball in chocolate and dipped half of the chocolate covered balls in crushed peanuts and left half with just plain chocolate. I'll give them another go with more PB and less icing sugar.

To Die For! I follow the recipe to a "T". BUT-I second the idea of inserting toothpicks prior to letting the balls firm up. That way you can dip them easily without having any crumble. Leave toothpicks in place until they are 100% firm and you're ready to dish them up-that was you'll get just a tiny hole. I also have to wonder if just a tad of parafin wax might help the chocolate along too. I did mine with a double broiler so the chocolate stays smooth but it's still quite thick. I'll be trying it with just a teeny bit of parafin next time to thin the chocolate better. But this recipe, consistency and taste are perfecto!

These are very good. The second time I made this recipe I added 2 tbsp of shortening to the chocolate when I melted it. This made the chocolate creamier and easier to work with. It still sets up well after cooling. YUMMY!

Here's my alterations: 1 cup pb, 1/4 cup butter, 2 cups rice crispies, 1 cup confectioner's sugar. This proportion seemed really nice. I also found that that putting the chocolate in my 2-cup pyrex measuring pitcher whatsit and putting it in a large bowl with water from the kettle melted it nicely and kept it that way long enough to work with. Now the trouble is not getting totally fat on these treats ;).

These were AWESOME! I used natural peanut butter - 1 c. crunchy & 1 c. creamy. Per other reviews, I only used 2 c. powdered sugar. I dipped half iof the balls in 65% cacao chocolate and the other half in melted white chocolate. Both were excellent, but the white chocolate dipped balls were TO DIE FOR! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

I've made these for years with slightly different proportions: 2 cups crunchy peanut butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 cups rice krispies and 1 1/2 cups softened margarine. I, too, melt the choc. chips in the microwave with shortening. I went to a Party City and bought a plastic dipping spoon in the candy-making department....and it makes dipping the balls a MUCH easier process! Even when I double the recipe, every morsel goes.....as I place them on pretty plates or in pretty candy dishes and give them as Christmas gifts to very special friends!

these were great. I did not cover them all in chocolate, I rolled some in coconut, some in a combination of cocoa powder and icing sugar (which hubby loved) some in just icing sugar and others in melted chocolate and then rolled them in chopped nuts...these are a keeper. I did get 5 dozen but guess I like smaller balls. I doubt these will make it to the freezer for christmas. Excellent recipe

Awesome recipe! My friend and I made these on our Holiday cookie day and they were outstanding! She has brought some to work and I just overheard one of the ladies saying she was dreaming about them while watching TV last night! You know they must be good! We made the first batch with nutty PB, and second with creamy and found that creamy was easier. Truly a keeper!
