Frequently Asked Questions
If you find that the mixture is sticking to your hands, try dusting your hands lightly in powdered sugar. That will prevent the peanut butter crispy balls from sticking to your hands while you roll them.
Yes, you can use any type of chocolate that you prefer. I like white or milk chocolate for these balls. But, semi-sweet or dark would also work.
