No-Bake Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Balls: chocolate-covered peanut butter balls are given a crunchy makeover for the best Christmas treat! They are the ideal bite-sized holiday treat! It’s hard to think it’s almost Christmas baking season, but here we are. I’m quite content with making the same things year after year.

For me, Christmas is all about traditions! These no-bake peanut butter rice krispie balls, along with my Italian Ricotta Cookies, will definitely be added to that list of traditions. I recall trying to avoid preparing the Christmas cut-out sugar cookies one year, and Mr. Wishes almost got up and left me for good. Ha ha! In my defense, the cookies take a long time to create due to the rolling, cooling, cutting out, decorating, and so on. 12 cup peanut butter is the only ingredient.

3 tablespoons soft butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal 12 cup pecans, chopped 1 cup coconut shredded Directions: Combine all ingredients, chill for 30 minutes, and roll into balls. Return to the refrigerator and refrigerate for at least an hour. In a double boiler, combine the following ingredients: 1 pound chocolate chips
