Crunchy peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate. A favorite Christmas cookie in my family for at least three generations. Can be refrigerated, frozen, or eaten immediately.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups crushed cornflakes cereal
1 cup confectioners' sugar
½ cup smooth peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Mix cornflakes cereal, confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, and butter together in a bowl. Scoop mixture using a melon baller into balls and arrange on a plate or baking sheet. Refrigerate until solid, at least 3 hours.
Place chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted, 1 to 3 minutes.
Grease a baking sheet.
Gently roll peanut butter balls in melted chocolate until evenly coated; arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

Cook's Note:

I melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips (and 1 teaspoon oil) at a time to use all the chocolate before it cools.
