Peanut Butter Chocolate Buckeye Rice Treats Recipe

This is another no-bake recipe for buckeye cookies; however, this recipe uses a rice cereal base and eliminates the need for paraffin wax.

Cookie Base Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 pound confectioner's sugar
• 2 1/2 cups rice cereal, finely crushed
• 3/4 cup unsalted peanuts, finely ground

Dipping Sauce Ingredients:

• 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon butter

Directions:

Blend peanut butter, butter, and sugar together until a paste forms. Add cereal and nuts. Roll into small balls; set on wax paper or a cookie sheet. When dough balls are made, melt butter and chocolate chips in a double boiler. Blend until smooth. Carefully dip each cookie into the chocolate mix, leaving a part of the cookie uncovered. Cool on a plate or cookie sheet.
