I look at Guy Fieri and I just think, ‘Jesus, I’m glad that’s not me.
This recipe is pretty straightforward to make but can get a little messy when you dip the crunch balls into the melted chocolate. Luckily I have this cool little dipping tool I got off of Amazon to make it a little easier to coat the crunch balls in chocolate.
If you are a peanut butter and chocolate lover, this is the ultimate recipe. It’s easy to make and will yield enough crunch balls to satisfy everyone at your next party. These would make a perfect dessert around the Holidays, especially Christmas.
But be warned, these crunch balls are super sweet!
