Delicious, crunchy, and full of peanut butter. This is my mother's recipe that I veganized by subbing in agave nectar for the honey.

This is a recipe I got from a neighbor many years ago. I make these sweet and crunchy treats at Christmas and then again for Easter. I've also made these tasty candies using Cocoa Krispies (instead of Rice Krispies) and smooth peanut butter instead of crunchy. Another traditional family favorite!

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 Tbsp butter, melted
2 c peanut butter, crunchy
2 c confectioner's sugar
3 1/2 c rice krispies cereal
16 oz milk chocolate melting wafers

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the butter, peanut butter, confectioner's sugar and rice krispies.
  • 2. Mix well with hands until well combined. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • 3. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Form chilled peanut butter mixture into 1 1/2" balls and place on prepared cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 35-40 minutes.
  • 4. When ready to dip peanut butter balls, melt chocolate in microwave, being very careful not to burn.
  • 5. Dip each egg into melted chocolate and place back onto prepared cookie sheet, drizzling extra chocolate over top to hide and holes left from dipping.
  • 6. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour to "set", then place into an airtight container with waxed paper between the layers.
  • 7. If I've used all of the melted chocolate and I have some peanut butter balls left, I usually just wrap them in a square of waxed paper. Just roll them in the waxed paper and twist each end shut.
  • 8. Makes 25-30 candies, chocolate dipper and/OR wrapped.

These are really delicious. I made a big batch of them yesterday and my DH took 1/2 the recipe to work with him. I love the crunchy, peanutty sweetness of these treats!

Categories     Candy

Time 17m

Yield 24 balls, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup cacao, nibs (ground fine)
1/2 cup almond meal (I roasted slivered almonds and ground them up)
1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
5 cups corn flakes (I used organic amaranth, oat bran flakes and blue corn flakes)

Steps:

  • Put the agave nectar in a large microwave bowl.
  • Grind up your cacao and almonds separately. You can also use unsweetened coco powder and almond meal in this if you don't have the raw cacao and almonds.
  • Add the cacao and almonds to the agave nectar. Stir well. Add the cornflakes and mix to coat.
  • Put the whole thing into your food processor. Pulse until you have a rough mixture. Open the lid and taste it. It should be fairly sweet. If you want more sweetness add a little more agave, but not too much, you don't want this to be runny.
  • Put into your microwave safe bowl and heat for about 2 minutes until warm.
  • Roll into balls and put on a wax paper covered cookie sheet and refrigerate until set.
  • I put mine in a plastic container and returned to the fridge.
  • Bon Appetit!
