Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

Steps

1. In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to combine the sugar, peanut butter, and butter.

2. Stir in the Rice Krispies, and then roll into heaping tablespoon- sized balls.

3. Melt the chocolate and shortening together in a glass bowl in short bursts of 30 seconds in the microwave, stirring after each burst- until smooth. (Or set a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water and melt the chocolate and shortening that way). Dip rolled balls into the hot chocolate mixture with a slotted spoon or fork. Gently place on waxed paper to set.
