It’s almost Christmas; that means it’s time for me to break out my apron and baking pans!
 
I love this time of year when my kitchen smells like sweets and containers filled with goodies that I bake for friends and family sit on my counters.
 
But, this year, I decided  I would try making goodies that wouldn’t have me spending hours in the kitchen.

How to make Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter Snowballs

First, in a large electric mixer bowl or large bowl using a handheld mixer, beat peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar on medium speed until mixed thoroughly together.
 
Second, add rice krispies and mix using a spoon. Next, using a teaspoon and your hands, shape mixture into balls.
 
Place on cookie sheet lined with wax paper and refrigerated until chilled.
 
 
Third, melt the white chocolate and shortening in a small saucepan over low heat stirring constantly.
 
Line a second cookie with wax paper and place it next to the pot with melted chocolate.  
 
Fourth, take a few of the peanut balls out of the refrigerator, using a toothpick dip one ball at a time in the white chocolate, use a teaspoon to help cover the ball completely.
 
Next, place the chocolate covered balls on the cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
 
Continue until all the peanut butter balls are covered, then refrigerate until firm. Store in an airtight container. Makes 18 snowballs.
 
 
Wasn’t that easy? The hardest part is not eating them all! Do you have a favorite peanut butter recipe? I would love for you to share it with me.
 
 
These Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter Snowballs make a great edible Christmas gift for teachers, bus drivers, secretaries, the boss, or anyone on your holiday list!
