Peanut Butter Crunch Balls

Looking for some delicious chocolates to make for your sweetheart on valentines? Well check these out the perfect chocolate, peanut butter and crunch all in one. I am sure someone special to you will love these.
 
Peanut Butter Crunch Balls



4 tablespoons butter

2 cups mini marshmallows

2 tablespoons peanut butter (your choice)

2 cups crispy rice cereal

1 cup peanut butter chips

2 cups (1 package) milk chocolate chips (you can use semi-sweet, too, but I like milk chocolate with peanut butter the best)

Melt butter in medium sized saucepan over low heat.  Add marshmallows and peanut butter and continue melting stirring constantly until melted and well combined.   Remove from heat and add crispy rice cereal and stir until mixed together completely.   Add peanut butter chips and stir until melted in and mixed together.  Form balls (whatever size you want, but I did them fairly small-about 1 teaspoon and set them on wax paper on a baking sheet.  Your hands will get pretty greasy--but it's fun!  I then put the balls in a very cold place (our garage sizes "refrigerator"--gotta love winter for that reason!)  You could refrigerate them or even freeze them, or also coat them in chocolate immediately.

Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe dish in 20 second increments.  Roll each ball in chocolate and set on wax paper.  Cool in refrigerator or garage! ;)
