Peanut Butter 'Bon Bons'

Happy Winter Everyone! I know I haven't blogged in forever but I'm ready to get back on track. I have a late Christmas post for you here...these are honestly a huge hit with everyone- they're light and airy but sweet and crispy, too. Plus, since they're 'no bake' they are super easy to put together. The ingredients may sound funny but trust me, they're SO good! I used white chocolate and red and green sprinkles to make them festive but you could definitely use milk chocolate for the coating. You can honestly whip these up in a matter of minutes so it's easy to bring to your next get together.

What you need for the Bon Bons:
1 and 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
1 and 1/4 cup peanut butter (I always use creamy)
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (I use the Keebler brand)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3/4 package almond bark (white or milk chocolate) +2 tablespoons Crisco
Sprinkles (as desired)

To make the Bon Bons:
1. Mix the first four ingredients together in a bowl. It's going to seem impossible at first but just keep stirring, it will all come together. At the end, I use my hands to get all the ingredients fully incorporated.

2. Once the mixture has fully pulled together, roll out 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. I usually get about 30-40 balls out of this.

3. Set the cookie sheet in the fridge or outside to harden up while you melt your chocolate.
4. Cut your almond bark into small pieces. I use the microwave to melt mine. I place the chocolate pieces in a large microwavable bowl with 2 tablespoons of Crisco and microwave on a low setting,  stirring every 30 seconds. 

5. Once chocolate is fully melted, bring your bon bons back out and dip them, using a spoon, until they're fully covered in chocolate. Then lay them back on the wax paper. If you're going to use sprinkles, I use them after I've dipped 4-5...the chocolate still needs to be a little wet in order for the sprinkles to adhere so if you wait too long they won't stick.
6. After all the bon bons have been dipped, put them back in the fridge to fully harden.

ENJOY!!
