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.

Directions

  • Mix corn flakes 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.

  • Melt chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes.

  • Grease a baking sheet.

  • Gently roll peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate until evenly coated; arrange on the same baking sheet.

Cook's Note:

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

Made as written and these turned out really good. I ended up with a lot more chocolate leftover so my only recommendation is to scale it back to 1 cup of chocolate chips instead of 1 1/2 cups. The cereal adds a really nice crunch! Read More
