Day 3 of Homemade Holidays is a simply delicious treat from reader Denise Robidoux.

I have been making this recipe since 2003. Every time I serve these crunchy peanut butter balls, I am asked for the recipe. People are surprised at how simple they are to make and how delicious they are.

I don’t remember which magazine this recipe came from; it might have been Taste of Home. Enjoy this lovely treat!

Crunchy Peanut Butter Balls

250 ml (1 cup) smooth peanut butter
500 ml (2 cups) marshmallow creme\
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) Rice Krispies
625 ml (2 1/2 cups) chocolate dipping wafers, melted

In a large bowl, combine peanut butter and marshmallow creme. Add Rice Krispies and stir until well coated.

Roll cereal mixture in one-centimetre (1/2-inch) balls. Place ball on a fork and dip in melted chocolate. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and refrigerate until set.

Can also be frozen.
