Alright, folks, let’s talk about these old fashioned peanut butter balls. I whipped up a batch the other day, and man, they were a hit! It’s a pretty straightforward process, so don’t worry if you’re not a pro in the kitchen.
First things first, I gathered all my ingredients. You’ll need some peanut butter – I used the sweetened kind ’cause, why not? Then there’s powdered sugar, butter (gotta have that buttery goodness), and some vanilla extract for a little extra flavor. Oh, and we can’t forget the Rice Krispies cereal! It adds a nice crunch, you know?
Mixing It Up
Next up, I dumped everything into a big bowl. No fancy techniques here, just get it all in there and start mixing. I used my hands because it’s way easier to get everything combined properly. It’s gonna be a bit messy, but that’s half the fun, right? You want to keep mixing until it forms a big, glorious ball of peanut buttery dough.
Rolling Time
Once the mixing was done, I started rolling. I grabbed small chunks of the dough and rolled them into little balls. You can make them whatever size you want, but I like them bite-sized. This part takes a bit of time, but it’s kinda therapeutic, like playing with Play-Doh but you can eat it afterward. I placed them all on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, makes things much easier for clean up!
Chocolate Time
- Now for the best part – chocolate!
- I melted down some chocolate in a double boiler, you can also microwave it.
- Once the chocolate was all smooth and melty, I dipped each peanut butter ball into it.
- I used a fork to make sure they were fully coated, and then I placed them back on the baking sheet.
Chill Out
After all that dipping, I popped the baking sheet in the fridge to let the chocolate harden. This is the hardest part because you have to wait! But trust me, it’s worth it. After about 30 minutes, they were ready to go.
And there you have it, old fashioned peanut butter balls. They’re sweet, crunchy, and totally addictive. Perfect for parties, or just a little treat for yourself. Give them a try, and let me know what you think!
From gathering the goods to chilling the finished product, it was a fun little baking adventure. The best part? Eating the fruits of my labor, of course! These little guys didn’t last long in my house, let me tell you.
So go on, give it a shot! It’s a simple recipe that delivers big on flavor. Enjoy, my friends!
