Rice Crispy Peanut Butter Balls

Here's a new one that everyone in the family enjoyed (from age 3 to 43).
Believe it or not, this recipe came from my daughter's Seventeen Magazine!

Rice Crispy Peanut Butter Balls

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup extra crunchy peanut butter
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme like Fluff brand.

Mix ingredients together. Form 1-1/2 inch balls and place on a wax-papered cookie sheet. Refrigerate for one hour.

We modified the recipe a bit. I only had smooth peanut butter, so I added about 1/2 cup of dry roasted peanuts to add more crunch. Instead of peanut butter chips, we used chocolate chips.
They went fast!

This would be an especially good one for the summer or for kids to fix themselves, because it was easy, fun, and no cooking is needed.
