Delicious and very sweet! I used a little extra PB to make it easier to combine. I had never heard of PB Balls before....but people go crazy when I make these things!!

I made these last year and everyone wanted them again this year in their basket! I loved the toothpick idea someone left. I did that this year. I didnt dip mine, I 'painted' them with my small spatula while holding them by the toothpick. They get too much choc on them when dipping. I rather have more peanut butter!! I also mixed with my hands, MUCH easier!

I made peanut butter balls for the first time this year--and my boyfriend absolutely loves these! I like the Rice Krispies...it gives them added crunch. I doubled the recipe and used chocolate almond bark to coat and they still tasted great!

So easy and so great. These taste almost like the candy "whatchamacallit". It has a wonderful flavor and the rice krispies give it a great texture. My children ate these before I got to give them as gifts.

I carried these to our Sunday School class party and I got rave reviews from everybody there. Needless to say, the peanut butter balls were all gone when the party was over. I dipped mine in chocolate flavored almond bark that I melted in the microwave. It is so easy when you use the almond bark.

Not a very talented candy maker here. The PB mixture seemed a bit crumbly, and I had a hard time forming it into balls, but did it. PUt the balls in the freezer for about 20 mins before dipping in the chocolate. Also, I don't have a double boiler, and struggle putting one pot on top of another doing it that way, so I melted the chips in the microwave, along with a little shortning(saw Emiril do that before. lol) Some of my balls fell apart a little bit while dipping in the chocolate(could be my fault for not letting them firm up longer). The end result worked out, though. Not very easy to make(if you're not good with candy). I will probably make these again around Christmas time.

Awesome! This is an excellant recipe! We didn't have any rice krispies so we took some kix and crunched them up and used those and they turned out great! Also, we had lots of trouble with the chocolate melting. It would get really grainy. Our solution was to put a little bit of chocolate in at a time over very low heat. It worked perfectly! Don't forget to stick toothpicks in the peanutbutter balls before you freeze them. Makes them much easier to dip;)

This an excellent recipe. A hundred times better than any using parafin, who wants to eat wax anyway? I do however, use a whole cup of peanut better rather than a half cup. And sometimes for a little variety I will dip them in one cup semisweet chocolate chips melted togewther with one cup butterscotch chips... try it... you'll like it!

4 cups of powdered sugar? I never got it all incorporated, and what I did get mixed up, made the dough very crumbly. I didn't increase my peanut butter, I stuck with the two cups. I got about 3 dozen balls made. They taste good, but they are SWEET. I don't know if I would make this again. My entire arm is sore from trying to stir in all the powdered sugar and they take a lllooooonnnnnggggg time to dip.

These are really time consuming but worth it they taste great. The first batch I made I left them in the frig overnight and the next day they had a bit of an old taste to them. I will be making these again. Kids love to help with these.

I thought these were excellent! I added about 1/4 cup more peanut butter and it was very easy to form balls by pressing the mixture together. Also- Instead of the messy process of dipping the balls, I used mini-muffin papers and covered the bottoms with melted chocolate and then added the peanut butter balls and poured chocolate over the top. Easy!

This was way too crumbly and did not hold together well. More of a rice krispie ball with peanut butter flavoring. I was not impressed.

Excellent and easy recipe. My in-laws remind me months in advance to make these for the Christmas holidays! I used chunky peanut butter for some added flavor and crunch.
