Recipe for Chocolate-Covered Coconut Peanut Butter Bites

I had a dream.

No, really, I literally had a dream.  And it was about coconut peanut butter dough dipped in chocolate.  I woke up and was so excited to try this out.  (that just shows you how much I think about food.  I am even dreaming about it these days).
I love the buckeyes that we make but I thought I would step them up a notch by adding coconut and rice krispies.  They were awesome.  At least I thought so.  So I decided to try them out on my in-laws.  I didn’t say anything about them.  I just set them on the counter in a tupperware container.  A little bit later I looked in the container and there was only one left.  My sister-in-law said, “those are the best things I’ve ever eaten!”  Now that is a compliment.  I was so happy that they liked them as much as I did.  If you’re a fan of coconut you’ll love these.

1/2 cup rice krispies
1.  In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, coconut, sugar and rice krispies.  Mix until smooth. 
2.  Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball.  Place on a cookie sheet that has been covered with parchment paper.

      I bet you could just leave it out and it would be fine, Frances.

    Crock pots are great for melting chocolate. These have the bonus of being gluten free.

    Do you think this would work with Almond Butter? I haven't time to try it that way but can't have peanut butter. Have you ever tried it with Almond Butter?

    you could try another cereal. I just like using the rice krispies because they are so small, the right size and the right crunch.
