The recipe my Great Aunt gave me uses chocolate candy bark and paraffin instead of chocolate chips and oil.
This really is a tried and truly loved treat. I have been making them for at least 40 years.

In reply to Vicki Gooch. It will help smooth out the chocolate, Vicki.

In reply to Penny Potter. We typically eat them pretty quickly, so we haven't run into that problem.

Have you ever had a problem with the rice crispies getting soggy and losing their crunch?

Chill the Peanut butter crispy mixture in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes before rolling into balls . Chilling reduces the stickiness when trying to roll . using 2 Forks for dipping in the melted chocolate makes it a bit easier to work with.

In reply to Joe. I tend to use a couple of forks and pass them back and forth or just stab them with a toothpick and use a second toothpick to remove them from the first.
