Jeanne (or anyone that knows) - Peanut Butter Balls - variation

[Guest guest]

Question please. Firstly, do you melt the butter and mix that in.

Secondly, do you mix in the rice crispies in with the butter, pb and sugar?

Thanks.

No, you don't melt the butter. You only want it to be

soft and then you cream together the butter, powdered

sugar and the peanut butter until smooth and evenly

combined. Then you do add the rice crispies and stir

to combine well; then form them into balls. Next take

the 1/2 cup powdered sugar and thin in water to make

a smooth " glue " , roll the balls in this glue and then in the

coconut. Try not to eat them faster than you make them.

 

You planning to bring these to the love-in up at linda's

garden? Oh and do you have a band? *lol*

Thanks PT. I guess you just form them to whatever size you'd prefer?

That will be pretty dang tough as I've been wanting to make this for a few

days now. Am going to try and start 'em up later.

Hmm. Well, I guess I have not hit that thread yet or perhaps Linda has

grown tired of picking on me and hasn't invited me to the shindig. I can

play a few instruments - what kind of music does she like? Let me guess -

anything bland or anything kale-y like Green Day or Green Apple Quick Step.

...nothing harsh like Acid(-ic) Rock.

 

Thanks again for the ph info. S.
