Ingredients for the Peanut Butter Balls:

• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup butter (melted)
• 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Ingredients for the Chocolate Icing:

Directions:

1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.

2. Mix Peanut Butter Balls:

   • In a large bowl, combine the icing sugar, peanut butter, shredded coconut, and melted butter. Mix well.
   • Gently fold in the Rice Krispies until fully coated.
   • Form the mixture into 1-inch balls using lightly dampened hands.
   • Refrigerate the balls on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.

3. Make Chocolate Dip:

   • In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips, remaining butter, and hot water together.
   • If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons more hot water.

4. Coat Peanut Butter Balls:

   • Using two forks, dip a couple of peanut butter balls into the chocolate mixture.
   • Roll the balls to coat them in chocolate.
   • Place the coated balls on the waxed paper-lined baking sheet and chill until the chocolate is set.
