Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (16 ounce) package powdered sugar
3 cups chocolate rice cereal
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and butter until smooth and blended. I prefer to use my stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed for easy mixing.
Gradually add in the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time. Make sure to mix well after each addition so it incorporates fully into the peanut butter mixture.
Once all the powdered sugar has been added, mix for 1-2 more minutes until uniform in texture. At this stage, the mixture should be thick enough to roll into balls.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll into balls using your hands. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Put the chocolate rice cereal in a shallow bowl. One by one, roll the peanut butter balls in the cereal to coat all sides. Gently press the cereal into the balls if needed to help it adhere.
Place the coated balls back on the baking sheet. If desired, lightly press additional cereal onto the tops to help decorate.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before enjoying to allow the coating to set up. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
