Description

Crunchy peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate. A favorite Christmas cookie in my family for at least three generations. Can be refrigerated, frozen, or eaten immediately.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups crushed cornflakes cereal
1 cup confectioners' sugar
½ cup smooth peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

1. Mix corn flakes cereal, confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, and butter together in a bowl. Scoop mixture using a melon baller into balls and arrange on a plate or baking sheet. Refrigerate until solid, at least 3 hours.
2. Melt chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes.
3. Grease a baking sheet.
4. Gently roll peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate until evenly coated; arrange on the same baking sheet.
