They are amazing snacks, my family loves them!!!

This is a good recipe but I did find that 3 cups Kripsies was too much. I would cut it down to 2 cups and check consistency. Thanks for sharing this treat!

We use Chunky peanut butter... it makes the consistency better.

Good treats. i used Wilton Candy Melts instead of the chocolate chips and I don't have to add the wax.

I used to make these w/ my mom, and now we're making more.

We make these every year for our family christmas party and we call them Ho Ho Balls. They are the best treat at Christmas..

Where do you buy cake parafin? What measurement is that? 1/8 cake parafin ? 1/8 cup??

Hi Patty,

It means a cake of paraffin, or a stick of paraffin, not paraffin for cakes. Any food grade paraffin will do.

Happy Holidays!

Do you use semi sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate?

Use the chocolate melts--sometimes they are in the fruit section (which you use to dip strawberries in). Also, you can melt some almond bark and drizzle over the finished balls to make them look festive!

I used almond bark instead of the chocolate chips and paraffin. They taste great and set up quickly!

I used graham cracker crumbs instead of rice krispies. Works really well. Made them last year for christmas gave to my family as a gift. They loved them. I called them reindeer pooh as a joke.

I love this recipe, but I don't like adding the wax. I use good chocolate and temper it properly so I don't have to add the paraffin.

A Christmas Must! I use fondue chocolate, it cuts time and gives them a thick shiny glaze.

I found that 3 cups of rice krispies was to much also. I added a extra cup of peanut butter and the consistency was great!! I'll try almond bark next time.

I'm very new to cooking/baking, so please forgive if this is a crazy question. Katie said she uses fondue chocolate. What/where/how would I get that? I don't like the idea of using paraffin. Also, I want to keep this as simple as possible. The recipe sounds delicious! Thanks!

These are a family favorite. I use chocolate melts you can buy at any candy store it is less messy and sets quickly.
