I’ve shared my family’s Peanut Butter Balls (aka Buckeyes) recipe here before (and it’s one of my most popular recipes).Once you’ve made them, you’ll understand our love for those chocolate peanut butter treats.
All of these recipes make terrific Christmas Candies for gifting or for snacking. It’s a tradition in our family to make these each year.
These Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies have become another friend and family favorite over the years.
