No Bake Christmas Treat: Peanut Butter Munchies

Peanut butter munchies are a very simple treat but the taste is amazing. They can be made very pretty with whatever you decide to roll them in. This recipe also came from Deb Brown.

2 cups sifted confectionery sugar

1¼ cup crunchy peanut butter (Skippy preferred)

¼ cup stick margarine

Dash of salt

2 cups Rice Krispies

A bar of semi-sweet or sweetened Barkers chocolate or a bag of milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet Ghirardelli chocolate chips

Just about any chocolate that will melt can be used in this recipe and even butterscotch chips make a different but very interesting taste.

Mix the first 4 ingredients with an electric mixer, add Rice Krispies and fold in.  Melt the chocolate. Form mixture into one inch balls and dip in melted chocolate. The balls can then be rolled in coconut, jimmies, chopped peanuts or colored sugar or nothing at all. Place on a piece of parchment paper until the chocolate hardens. 

These can be refrigerated for several weeks or they freeze well.
