Laura's peanut butter balls

My husband, Josh has been craving some peanut butter balls lately. His Mom and his sister make them sometimes. They are a delicious no bake "cookie". They are kind of more like a crunchy truffle if you will. Definitely not cookie like, but I have no idea what else to call it. They are crunchy peanut butter centers dipped in chocolate. Perfect for the peanut butter lover like me. Josh sent me a recipe, and I came up with my own variation.

Here's my recipe:

1.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or tin foil. 
2. Measure out 2 cups unfrosted corn flakes, and crush into smaller pieces. I used a pastry cutter for this, which worked great.
   
3. Combine crumbled corn flakes with 2/3 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 stick of softened unsalted butter, and 2/3 cups of either smooth or chunky peanut butter (I used natural peanut butter and it worked fine) using either a wooden spoon or your hands. I had to kneed it at the last bit with my hands.
   
4. Shape peanut butter mix into approximately 1-inch balls and place them on prepared cookie sheet.
5. Melt about a cup and half chocolate chips in the microwave until completely melted, Stiring every 30 seconds. 
6. Using a spoon, gently roll one  cookie at a time in the melted chocolate, until coated.
   
7. Place it back on parchment-lined sheet. Repeat with the remaining cookies, adding more chopped peanuts as needed (about 1 cup in total for this recipe)
8. Put them in the freezer for about an hour or so. I think they taste better that way.  Store in airtight container.
