​Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront – Peanut Butter Balls Recipe
 
Ingredients

• 1 lb. of Creamy Peanut Butter
• 4 oz. of unsalted butter
• 1 lb. 2 oz. of confectioner’s (powdered) sugar
• 6 cups of Rice Krispie’s cereal
• Chocolate chips, melted for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

• Melt butter in a 1qt saucepot over medium heat. Add peanut butter and mix well.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and Rice Krispies. Fold in the peanut butter mixture and mix well.
• Scoop into small balls (preferable with a melon baler or a miniature ice cream scoop) and roll tightly (failure to do so will result in crumbles)
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to gather the rolled peanut butter balls. Once rolled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm (roughly 2 hours).
• For an added delight, drizzle with melted chocolate chips!
