We don’t think it can be said enough … we love peanut butter.  We would eat it every day if we could.  Whenever it is our turn to bring a dessert to a family or work event, we always bring something peanut buttery.   These Halloween Peanut Butter Crunch Balls are the perfect potluck dessert because they are both bite-sized and delicious. Creamy and crunchy, they are chock full of peanut butter with a special crunch from a combination of graham crackers and Rice Krispie Cereal.  So yummy! So easy to make!  So perfect for Halloween!

How to Make

Step 1: First, crush the Graham Cracker sheets in a plastic bag. We used a rolling pin to get rough chunks but you could use a food processor if you’d like.
Step 2: Pour the Graham Crackers into a bowl and add the peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar. Stir with a spoon until completely incorporated.
Step 3: Then add the Rice Krispie Cereal and mix again.
Step 4: Put the mixture in the refrigerator for  30 minutes to firm up.

Step 5: We measured 8 ounces of the mixture on our Food Scale for each Crunch Ball and rolled them into balls and then chill them for 2 hours.

Step 6: Melt 25-30 Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers in the microwave.
Steps 7-8: Place a Peanut Butter Ball in the melted chocolate and cover it completely.
Step 9: Add Halloween Sprinkles before the chocolate dries for a fun festive Halloween look. Place the Halloween Peanut Butter Crunch Truffles back in the Refrigerator to allow the chocolate coating to set up.  Super yummy, with a very appealing crunchiness from the addition of the Rice Krispie Cereal.
