Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Rice Krispies Balls

"I saw this in Oprah Magazine (December 2008) and thought this would be a great addition to those Christmas cookie platters we all have to make. Very quick and easy to do. This only has 5 ingredients. This uses chocolate-covered toffee candy bars (Heath bars) and looks easy enough for my boys to make for their teacher. This also uses a microwave to make things go even quicker."

  1. I didn't have toffee bars but I crushed some dark chocolate bars from Trader Joe's. Had trouble getting these to stick together, but decided to make them smaller in case they fell apart while being eaten. I made bite-size balls that tasted delicious!
     
  2. I was almost tempted to press these into a 9x13 baking dish, but decided to follow your recipe and make them into cookie balls. I flattened them a bit as you can see by the picture in lieu of keeping them as balls. Oh and I should mention that I doubled this recipe knowing that these would go over in a big way. I was right:-) Made for PhotoTag~

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies. <a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=rsc002.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/rsc002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/lucyatpoppys005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=hilfiger001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/hilfiger001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
