4 Tablespoons salted butter softened
2 cups crunchy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
3 cups Rice Krispies
12 ounces semi sweet choc chips or chocolate almond bark
1 Tablespoon butter flavored shortening

Instructions

In a bowl combine softened butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar and Rice Krispies with hand mixer until well mixed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
After mixture has chilled form mixture into balls the size of a walnut place on sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
In a saucepan or double boiler melt chocolate chips or almond bark over low heat with the shortening. You can also use a microwave to melt chocolate just make sure to melt in small increments, stirring after each time so you don't seize (burn) the chocolate. Dip balls into chocolate mixture.
Place peanut butter ball on fork tines, dip into melted chocolate, remove and let any excess chocolate drip off then place back onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let cool until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers. These keep best in the refrigerator or freezer so they don't melt.
