Cereal Isn’t Just For Breakfast Anymore – Part Two

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Loved reading Toby’s post about the use of cereal for more than breakfast-and late night munchies!

Here’s another recipe that has long been a favorite in my family…using Rice Krispies. We used to just make these at Christmas but finally my nephew pointed out they weren’t really a holiday specific treat and now he feels free to request them year round:-))

Peanut Butter Bonbons

Ingredients

1 stick butter
2 cups peanut butter
3 cups Rice Krispies
1 lb confectioners sugar (roughly 3 cups)
1 12oz pkg chocolate chips

Directions

In a double boiler melt butter and peanut butter together, stir often til smooth
Mix cereal and sugar together
Pour butter/PB mixture over dry ingredients, mix thoroughly
Using a teaspoon, make 1″ balls, place on wax paper covered platter
Chill 2-3 hours
When firm, melt chocolate chips in double boiler til smooth
Dip each ball into chocolate (about 1/2 way deep)
Return to platter and let chocolate harden- about an hour should do it

I suggest keeping the chocolate in the double boiler while you’re dipping the balls, it keeps things moving along much quicker. Store in the frig in an airtight container. I let them come to room temp before putting them out. This recipe will make between 60-70 bonbons depending on how big you think a 1″ ball is!
