Very tasty! But don’t cook the sugar/syrups for too long – that’s how you make HARD candy (oops, I wasn’t thinking about that). I will make them again, but won’t make the same mistake twice!
I made these Vegan so I could give to friends with dietary restrictions; it wasn’t hard to find vegan versions of the ingredients.
These are super good! I’m digging the idea of wrapping it around a Hershey’s kiss. Maybe next time. I also think I will do half a recipe at a time as mine made about 40 golf ball size balls.
Great recipe and so easy. Try making the balls around a Hershey’s kiss. You’ll love it!
The most amazing things on earth!!!! Really sweet but good!!! To everyone who says there to hard try making on medium heat than when the peanut butter is liquidy take it off the heat and stir in rice cereal
Love these. I made them with natural peanut butter instead of the sweetened PB. They were wonderful. Then I made them again using coco krispies instead of the regular rice krispies and put them into a 9 x 13 dish and cut into bars. So good too. Great recipe for family, parties or potlucks. Thanks Garth!!!
I have been looking for this recipe for the last 10 years! These were made almost monthly by myself,and family since the late 60’s. the recipe was lost and Try as I might,could not find! Thank You!
they were good but kinda on the hard side. any suggestions.
love everything about the shows, im always recording so i dont miss a one of them… my family thanks you, because my food is GREAT TASTING now! thank you trisha, from you fan theresa
PB Balls were awesome! I cut the sugar as well to 1/2 cup. Still sweet enough for the sweet tooth people out there. Used 5 cups of cereal and 1 1/2 cups of crunchy peanut butter. Great party dessert idea! If you love peanut butter, you’ll love this recipe!
A new tradition. A+
