2 C. Peanut Butter
1 1/2 sticks Butter
4 1/2 C. Powdered Sugar

Directions:
Directions:
Melt peanut butter and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until mixture is fully combined, smooth and warm.

In a large bowl, stir together powdered sugar and cereal. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture. Using hands or wooden spoon, blend well, until it is easy to clump together and form balls. Form into roughly 30 balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and place on parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Chill in refrigerator of freezer for at least an hour.

Melt candy melts in a bowl set over simmering water, stirring occasionally with rubber spatula until melted and smooth (alternatively, heat in a microwave-safe bowl at 15 second intervals, stirring with rubber spatula, until melted and smooth.)

Remove chilled truffle centers from the refrigerator or freezer, using a toothpick, dip each one in the candy coating, turning until covered on all sides. Remove toothpicks and place on waxed paper to set.

If garnishing with sprinkles, apply the sprinkles while the candy coating is still slightly warm to ensure that they stick. If using icing, wait until the truffles have set completely (about an hour).
