Peanut Butter, Anyone?

January 09, 2012

Do you really love peanut butter? I do! I received this recipe at a family get-together. It’s so quick and easy!

Peanut Butter Balls

1 cup white sugar
1 cup white corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
4-5 cups crisp rice cereal

In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. Stir in crisp rice cereal. Drop by the spoonful onto waxed paper. When cool enough to handle, butter hands and form spoonfuls into balls.
