2 c. creamy peanut butter
1/2 c. butter
3 c. crispy rice cereal
4 c. confectioners sugar
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

Melt peanut butter and butter in saucepan over low heat. In a large bowl, mix crispy rice cereal and confectioners sugar well. Pour melted peanut butter and butter over cereal and sugar and blend together thoroughly. Form 1 inch or small balls, spread on cookie sheets, chill until firm in refrigerator (over night is okay). Melt chocolate in double boiler and keep melted while working with balls. A teaspoon is best to use in dipping the balls in chocolate. Dip well and place on cookie sheet.

Yield: 4 dozen (24 servings).
