  1. Simple and easy. I like that.
     
  2. My family insists on these every Christmas! I use red and green sprinkles to make them look festive. Fun to make, too. Kids love to help with the sprinkles.
     
  3. This recipe is very dry! Very frustrating when you dip the PB balls in chocolate and they fall apart!
     
  4. Easy and delicious, fun for kids to make and eat! I added two more TBSP of milk to the dough as it was originally too crumbly to form the balls.
     
  5. Quick and easy! A new family favorite.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am from Michigan (metro-Detroit) area. No "human" kids, but I keep myself busy with my 2 five month old kittens adopted from a rescue league. Everyone said "you HAVE to have two!" If you're contemplating this for yourself, you may want to talk to me first...Do I have some stories for you! If I could escape from work for one month, you would find me on a Hawaiian beach, with a MaiTai in hand just soaking up the sun....
