Nana’s Healthier Peanut Butter Balls

1 Mins read

Ever since I can remember, my Nana made peanut butter balls every Christmas. They were my favorite! She passed away on Thanksgiving, so this Christmas, my dad took over the tradition. He’s so sweet, and made them healthier for my sister and me. They still were delicious, so I knew I had to share!

The sweetness only comes from the chocolate, so choose the type you prefer. The kids like when I add crisp rice cereal (that was optional for Nana). You can leave the cereal out, but I agree it adds a great crunch!
