Power Orbs

And from appies we'll skip the main and go right to dessert. Mostly because it's the only recipe I can remember off the top of my head while at work.

These are named by Elvis (not the King - the other one).

WARNING can be addictive.

1 c Smooth peanut butter
1 c Icing sugar
1 1/2 c rice krispies

6 oz or so of chocolate of your choice (I like a combo of milk and dark)

Combine peanut butter and sugar with some forks (unless you are lucky enough to have some fancy device like a food processor or a pastry cutter)

Add rice krispies (I try to crumble the "dough" and get the rice in from there with my hands - don't use the food processor and if you did before then remember safety first and take the dough out of the processor or else don't come crying to me about lost digits).

Form balls of just under an inch (like 3/4 of an inch).

Freeze them (this is key).

Melt chocolate in a double boiler (bowl fitted into a pot with about an inch of water, boil water and the steam will heat the bowl melting the chocolate without burning it).

Dip the balls in the chocolate to coat and then move to wax paper with forks.

Cool on the counter for a bit and refrigerate to set chocolate. If you move them right to the fridge the chocolate gets "foggy".
