Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups crushed cornflakes cereal

  • ½ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1
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.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
Grease a baking sheet.

Step 4
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.
