Peanut Butter Bon Bons
These Peanut Butter Bon Bons are an easy holiday treat featuring a creamy peanut butter filling, crunchy Rice Krispie cereal, and a delicious coating of semi-sweet chocolate and rich butterscotch.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- rubber spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Kitchen scale
- Half baking sheet
- Wax paper
- Microwave safe bowls
Ingredients
- 2 cups (512 g) peanut butter, I like creamy Skippy
- ½ cup (113.5 g) butter
- 4 ½ (540 g) cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 3 cups (80 g) crisp rice cereal
- 1 cup (224 g) butterscotch chips (I like using Nestle.)
- 1 cup (224 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine powdered sugar and cereal. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt peanut butter and butter.
- Once melted, pour over the cereal mixture and stir. Once it’s cooled a bit, use your hands to blend.
- Form into 1 inch balls and chill until firm.
- Once balls are firm, melt butterscotch chips in a microwave safe bowl. I microwave in 30 second intervals. You can also use a double broiler if you’d like.
- Dip half the candy in melted butterscotch. Swirl with the back of a small spoon. Place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and dip the other half of the candy in melted chocolate. Swirl with the back of a small spoon. Place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Chill until chocolates are firm.
- Enjoy!
