Chocolate Sleigh Bell Cookies
1/2 cup of butter
2 cups of peanut butter
saucepan
Large bowl
3 1/2 cups powered sugar
3 1/2 cups of Kellogg's Rice Krispies Cereal
Three cookie sheets
Wax paper
12-ounce bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 ounces chocolate candy bars
One-third bar paraffin wax
Double boiler
Toothpicks
Melt the butter and peanut butter in the saucepan on
low-medium heat, stirring constantly. In the large
bowl, stir the powdered sugar and cereal together.
Line the cookie sheets with wax paper. Pour the
peanut butter mixture into cereal mixture, and mix
thoroughly. With clean hands, roll the mixture
into 1 -inch balls and place them on the cookie sheets.
Put the cookie sheets in the refrigerator while you melt
the chocolate.
Put the chocolate chips, candy bars, and paraffin wax in
the double boiler, with water in the bottom, and let
them all melt, stirring occasionally. Poke each
cookie ball with a toothpick, then dip into the
chocolate mixture. Hold the cookie over the double
boiler for a few seconds to let any excess chocolate
drip off. Shake the cookie slightly over the cookie
sheet to let it fall off the toothpick. Fill any
toothpick hole with a drop of chocolate if needed.
It's not necessary to refrigerate the cookies, but
they're delicious when cold.
Tip: Don't use oily peanut butter because the cookies
won't roll properly
Makes 3-4 dozen cookies
