Like my title? I came up with that one all by myself (har har)…
because that’s exactly what came to mind when I made these babies!

Let’s start with the back story first. My favvvvorite, favorite lunch spot here in Greenville is a little place called {Two Chefs}.
I go here weekly for their pimento cheese on rye sandwich, their delicious daily soups, and… drumroll please…
their peanut butter rice krispies.

These little charming treats have become my addiction… and my downfall. These squares are literally the size of my face, with chocolate chips and mounds of peanut butter stuffed inside. They are amazing… but also detrimental to my bikini diet.
On Saturday, I decided to whip up my own lower-calorie version of my favorite treat.
Peanut Butter Rice Krispies balls
Servings: Approximately 60
Servings: Approximately 60
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons margarine or butter
4 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons peanut butter
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Melting chocolate {optional but highly encouraged}

Steps:
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat
2. Add marshmallows and stir until melted
3. Remove from heat and add peanut butter, stirring until well mixed
4. Add Rice Krispies
5. Let cool for 10 minutes and form into 1-inch balls
6. Melt the chocolate according to directions and dip balls

5. Let cool for 10 minutes and form into 1-inch balls
6. Melt the chocolate according to directions and dip balls
Each peanut butter krispies ball (without chocolate) has only 60 calories!
With the added chocolate, each one comes out to about 90 calories.
Unless you’re like me, and can’t eat only a few at a time… Then I suggest bagging them up and handing them out to friends, coworkers, etc!
Hope everyone has a great Monday!
Who will be watching Bachelor tonight??

I tried making the balls and they didn't work out at all. They were falling apart on me left and right.
also very good if you add butterscotch morsels to the chocolate and melt together and cover the rice krispies!
