Original recipe makes 4 dozen

 3 cups creamy peanut butter
 1 cup butter
 5 cups confectioners' sugar
 2 cups crisp rice cereal
 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Melt peanut butter and butter in saucepan, over low heat. In large bowl, mix crispy rice cereal and confectioners' sugar well. Pour melted peanut butter and butter over cereal and sugar and blend together thoroughly.
  2. Form into 1 inch or smaller balls, spread on cookie sheets, chill till firm in refrigerator (over night is okay).
