K: Trick or Treat! Neighbor: Here’s a candy for you, and one for her. K: She can’t eat any candy because she’s a toddler. Neighbor: Well, you can have it for her. K: She can’t eat it, but she can hold it. Neighbor: Okay, here you go. A tosses candy on the ground.

Crunchy Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles

YIELD:  The amount this makes depends on the size of your truffles.  Paula and I made each truffle center 8 grams. Yes…we measured. The reason for our precision was that we needed to fit the finished candy into a very specific space in our candy box. You could make these in any size or shape that tickles your fancy. At 8 grams per center, we made over 100 truffles.

2 cups peanut butter (Jiff, Skippy and the like, not old-fashioned)

1/2 cup butter

16 oz. (4 1/2 cups) powdered sugar

3 cups Rice Crispies (or other puffed rice cereal)

18 oz. milk chocolate

1 tablespoon canola oil

In saucepan melt peanut butter and butter. In large bowl, combine powdered sugar and cereal. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture. Mix together with your hands like so.

Form into 1″ balls. Chill until firm.

Melt the milk chocolate then stir in the canola oil. Dip candies in them. We found that two forks worked quite well for this. Keep the chocolate warm and toss each truffle between the forks to try to remove excess chocolate…unless you want excess chocolate.

Place on wax paper line cookie sheet. Chill.
