I made these yesterday and had to add a half cup more peanut butter because it was too crumbly. I also added a tablespoon of shortening to the choc. chips. They turned out good. Overall pretty quick and easy to make. I like that you can decorate them for different occasions. I added colored sprinkles and some jimmies on top fo xmas, Look so pretty. Will try these again.

I found these to be really sweet. I like maple flavoring in almost everything, but it didn't seem to work here for me. I made 1/2 recipe and got about 25 balls. I did miss the crunch of the ground graham crackers in a buckeye ball recipe I usually make. I also found the chocolate to be difficult to work with. I added a little butter and vegetable oil, which helped some. I was surprised the dipping chocolate did not have any fat to make it easier to dip. I put them in mini Christmas cup wrappers, as the chocolate melts easy. I decided to not add them to the Christmas tray, but I took them to a party and everyone ate them up. They didn't seem to care about the melty consistency of the chocolate or what I thought was very sweet overall.

I absolutely could not get the full 4 cups of sugar incorporated, so I got on "the Buzz" here on AE and asked what to do, (in a panic). I was told that if I had used natural peanut butter it would make a difference... IT DID! I used maybe 2 cups of powdered suger and had to add a bit more peanut butter AND some warm milk to make it work-but they are SO good! I left out the maple because I was making maple balls too and wanted there to be a big difference, used vanila in it's place. I will make the balls half size next time because they are SO rich.

My second review on these! I have made them a few times and they don't last long. This time, I melted a package of milk chocolate chips in the microwave, and I added about 4 TB butter when I melted the cc; stirred that together, then added 2 TB of milk and stirred it well for the dipping. So good. :D

DRY! I wanted to try a recipe without Rice Krispies as I had none in the house, think I'm going to wait next time to go to the store back to my old one.

I made these for a church get together and everyone loved them. Definitely don't skip the maple flavoring. It made them unique, and gave them a great flavor. I put them in the freezer for a while before dipping them in chocolate.

They were very delicious! I added coffee chocolate chips instead of regular. It really hit the spot! I highly reccomend these for special occasions. For an example, when you have guests over. Or just make them as a group activity!
