Answer 3

here is a great recipe...

1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1 lb powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Crisco

Mix peanut butter, margarine or butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in bowl (It helps to soften the margarine).
Shape into 1" balls.
Refrigerate balls.
Meanwhile, melt chocolate with a bit of crisco (so the chocolate will harden. Without crisco, chocolate will remain soft.) in double boiler.
Insert toothpick into refrigerated balls and dip into chocolate, leaving small area resembling a buckeye.
Cool on wax paper and store in refrigerator or freezer.

Ingredients:

1 lb. butter
2 lb. bag of powdered sugar
one 28-oz. jar creamy peanut butter

Answer 6

BEST PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups corn flakes

Bring corn syrup and sugar to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for ONLY 3 minutes (any longer the balls will be hard).
Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter. Pour over corn flakes and mix. Wait a few minutes, then roll into balls.

Answer 7

1 18-ounce jar peanut butter
2 pound powdered sugar
1 cup butter, melted

mix together and form balls (you may need to chill first)

This is the point where mine may be different

place a toothpick in the top of each ball, line them on a tray and freeze.

Melt your favorite chocolate (my husband likes dark chocolate the kids favor milk chocolate) dip frozen balls in melted chocolate and place on waxed paper to set.

Good Luck

*This can also be done with marachino cherries, freeze them stem up, and dip in melted chocolate*

The link has several versions of the recipe over to the left side. . .
One with maraschino cherries, which I'd never heard of. Run them past your husband, and see which sounds the best!

Answer 9

my recipe is so similar to others therefore i will not write it but make sure you use chunky peanut butter and rice krispies.<
