Crispy peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate!

  • - 1 box baking chocolate
  • - 1 small jar of crunchy peanut butter
  • - 2 cups Rice Krispies
  • - 1 cup icing sugar
  • - waxed paper
  • - Sprinkles if desired
  • - My grandma uses about 1 tbsp of wax (the kind that you would use to seal canning jars) in the chocolate. It does make a difference to how shiny and pretty the balls are after. The wax is such a small amount it has never hurt us... but it would be up to you if you want to use it.
