Elizabeth's Peanut Butter Bonbons
2 cups crunchy peanut butter 1 lb. powdered sugar 1 stick soft butter 2 cups Rice Krispies | 8 oz. plain Hershey bars 6 oz. milk chocolate chips 1/3 block paraffin |
Directions:
Measure peanut butter, powdered sugar and butter into a large bowl and cream together. Add Rice Krispies. Melt chocolate and paraffin in double boiler. Form peanut butter mixture into balls the size of egg yolks. Dip in chocolate mixture. Makes 50-60 candies.
Notes:
This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law, Elizabeth Netz. When we visited one Christmas many years ago, I sat at her kitchen table and copied several of her candy recipes.
I made these bonbons this Christmas, and I decided that next time I make them, I will try using graham cracker crumbs instead of Rice Krispies. In my opinion, the Rice Krispies turned tough (not crunchy at all) when the candy was a few days old.
