No Bake Peanut Butter Crisp Balls

These No Bake Peanut Butter Crisp Balls are one of my favorite easy cookie recipes.

My family loves anything with chocolate and peanut butter.  So, it’s no wonder that I can’t keep these No Bake Peanut Butter Crisp Balls in the house.  As soon as I make a batch they start disappearing at an alarming rate.

These cookies remind me a lot of Buckeyes – the peanut balls that are dipped in chocolate.  The only difference is, these have a crispy component.

This easy cookie recipe is a cinch to make.  And, the best part is, kids can help make them.  My son and I love to make these together.
