Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

These bite-sized treats are decadent and delicious!  The preparation is a bit messy, so I would suggest working with a partner.  Makes three to four dozen balls.

Ingredients:
1 small jar creamy peanut butter
1 stick butter
1 package (16 oz) powdered sugar
1 box rice krispies cereal
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Scoop out all of the peanut butter and place in a large saucepan with the stick of butter.  Heat on low, stirring occasionally until completely melted.
2.  Remove the pan from heat and stir in about half the box of powdered sugar. You need to get the consistency of a stiff cookie dough, otherwise they will be too runny.  Add more powdered sugar until you get this consistency.
3.  Add 1 1/2 cups of rice krispies, more if desired.  Stir until well mixed.
4.  Take spoonfuls of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands.  Your hands will get messy after a few, so wash and dry your hands and then get back to it. 
5.  Pour chocolate chips into a pot and heat using the "double boiler" method.  Basically, have a separate pot with simmering water and place the pot with chocolate on top of it, so the steam indirectly heats it up.  Heat chocolate until completely melted, then remove from heat.
6.  Roll peanut butter balls in melted chocolate, place on a plate covered in wax paper.  Refrigerate the balls for a few hours until the chocolate shell has hardened.

***Note:  To save time and mess, grab a partner for the last three steps.  One person handles the peanut butter mix and rolls out the balls while the other person handles the chocolate coating.  Easy!
