Mimi’s Peanut Butter Bon-Bons

Ingredients:

3 c. Rice Krispies

1 stick melted butter

1 box (16 oz.) powdered sugar

2 c. peanut butter (chunky or creamy)

1 c. chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans or no nuts at all)

1 large package semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 Hershey chocolate bar - 4 oz.

1/8 stick of parafin (wax), cut into shavings {This is the unpopular step that I don’t tell people about because they go- ooooohhh, yuck, wax! And you don’t have to put it in- but the chocolate sets up so much better.

Directions:

In a saucepan, melt the peanut butter and butter. In a large bowl combine powdered sugar and Rice Krispies; pour peanut butter mixture over the dry mix. Add the chopped nuts. Blend together with your hands. (At this point it probably should go into the fridge for a bit if the peanut butter mixture is too fluid/sticky) If you can work with the mixture at this point without putting the stuff in the fridge- go ahead and form into half inch balls. Chill the balls well.

Melt parafin shavings in a double boiler and add all the chocolate. Melt. Dip cookies in the chocolate, coating and swirling with the back of a spoon. Place on waxed lined paper on a cookie sheet until they set up. These freeze really well.

Yummy!
