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.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups crushed cornflakes cereal
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 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.
