Great for showers and parties

I'm entering a baking contest tomorrow to benefit United Way and I'm using my go-to recipe for such things - bon-bons. I'm not one to labor in the kitchen but these are easy, present very well and most importantly are super yummy.

My mother started making bon-bons a few years ago during Christmas time. They've made appearances at bridal and baby showers and other parties as well and always are a hit.

Disclaimer, they have peanut butter in them so if you have an allergy or a little one with an allergy, this is not for you.

Bon-Bon recipe

1 Cup Graham cracker crumbs

1 jar crunchy peanut butter

½ cup powdered sugar

1½ cups Rice Krispies

Mix together and refrigerate for 1-hour. Form into balls and freeze for 15+ minutes (helps when dipping)

Dip in dipping chocolate (white or dark) and place on wax paper. Drizzle opposite color of chocolate for decoration

Do you have a go-to recipe?

I make mini cheese cakes if I really want to make an impression. They're a huge hit. I've even made them gluten free with GF cookies.

The bon bons sound delish! How big is the jar of PB? I ask because I buy it at Costco, and I am pretty sure that is not the size of jar you mean.

Mandy, just a regular size jar of PB. I don't know the ounces but I am guessing Costco is a bit much.
