1-2-3 Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bonbons For Kids

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 1/2 creamy peanut butter
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup crisp rice cereal
10 oz milk chocolate, melted, for coating

Directions:

1. Combine the confectioners’ sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla in the large bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on low speed until the mixture begins to come together. Beat on high speed until it reaches a dough-like consistency, with no crumbs. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more confectioners’ sugar; if it’s too dry, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. (It’s better to avoid adding the milk, as the rice cereal will begin to lose its crunch after several hours due to the added moisture.) Add the rice cereal and mix until combined.
2. Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and line them up on a parchment paper. Using two forks, dip the balls one at a time into the melted chocolate, turn to coat, allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the coated candies back onto the parchment paper. Try to wait until the chocolate has set before you eat them. To speed things up, you can put the bonbons in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, but no longer than that. The condensation can ruin the chocolate.
   *When making the milk chocolate for the coating, be careful not to overheat the chocolate or it will be ruined. Chop the chocolate and microwave for 2 minutes., stopping to stir every 30 seconds. If it feels very warm, but you can see pieces of chocolate, just keep stirring. It may take a good few minutes.

*Notes:
These are super gooey and delicious! they totally make up for the complete failure of the almond crisps. One thing i would suggest is adding more cereal—at least 2 cups. it would make them more solid.
