My friend's make these every year for a cookie exchange we have at Christmas time. They call them boomerangs, which I'd never heard of before. They are my most favorite holiday treat of all the cookies I get/make. I decided to make them this year in the shape of eggs for Easter! So yummy!

How To Make peanut butter balls

Step 1

In large bowl, mix butter, and confectioner's sugar. Add rice crispies and mix well by hand. Mixture will be crumbly.

Step 2

Shape mixture into 1 inch balls. (Pictured are eggs for Easter)
Step 3

Melt chocolate and wax on top of double boiler. (I don't have one, so I use a stainless steel bowl on top of boiling water... very carefully!)
Step 4

Dip peanut butter balls in chocolate with a fork and cool on wax paper.
Step 5

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
