These no-bake peanut butter rice krispie balls are definitely being added to that list of traditions, along with my Italian Ricotta Cookies.
I remember the one year I tried to get away without making the Christmas cut-out sugar cookies and Mr. Wishes just about got up and left me for good. Ha ha! I mean, in my defense, those are very time-consuming cookies to make with the rolling, chilling, cutting out, decorating, etc.

They are ridiculously easy to make and require no oven time at all. Plus, they have the magical combination of peanut butter and chocolate. Who can resist that?
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter.
- Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
