  • 1 stick margarine
  • 1 1/2 c peanut butter
  • 2 c powdered sugar
  • 3 c Rice Krispies

Instructions
 

  • Melt margarine over low heat in a large saucepan or stock pot
  • Stir in peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth
  • Remove from heat
  • Add cereal and stir until completely coated
  • Form into small balls and line up on a tray or baking sheet. Refrigerate until cool, at least half an hour or up to a day.
  • Prepare another tray or baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
  • Use a small saucepan and bring 2 c water to a boil in it. Turn heat down so it continues to simmer gently. Place a soup bowl on top of the pan and add 2-3 blocks of bark into the bowl. Melt chocolate almond bark in the bowl over the hot water.
  • Dip each ball individually into the chocolate.
  • Using a fork, lift each out and gently shake off excess chocolate. Gently place each ball the wax paper and allow to completely dry.
