Peanut Butter Balls

I got this easy breezy recipe from Tricia at It's All About Him. It's a keeper!

2 cups Rice Krispy Cereal (I substituted a fancier kind of cereal, with cranberries and macadamia nuts, rice crispies and flakes, I just scrunched the flakes up in the bag... can't remember the brand of it as I don't have the box, it's from Costco. The cranberries and mac. nuts added a special touch to these already yummy treats.)
2 cups peanut butter
2 cups confectioners sugar
2 TB margarine
1/2 ts vanilla

1/4 cup melted butterscotch chips
1/4 cup melted toblerone
1/4 cup melted dark chocolate

(you can use whatever kind of chocolate you want for this, just heat it up for a minute or so in the microwave when you are ready to dip).

Mix everything but chocolate together in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon. Finish blending in with your hands (I used latex gloves as Tricia suggested). Chill. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on trays covered in wax paper.

I melted my chocolate 1/4 cup at a time in a tea cup for about 1 min, 30 seconds in the microwave, stirring the final chips to melt them in so that it remained easy to work with. I dropped the balls in one at a time, rolled them around the wall of the cup with a teaspoon until they were coated, and then returned to the tray. One bonus to having an uninsulated sun porch is being able to "chill" this kind of baking on a bakers rack outside and not take up space in my fridge *grin* (I always was an opportunist). When they were chilled I popped them into an airtight container to store in the fridge. YUM. And very easy. The kids basically did everything but the chocolate dipping on these babies.
