White Bark Balls Recipe (2024)

I've made these twice now. Make the balls about 1 inch to get 3 dozen. I thought they were too sweet so cut back the sugar to 3/4 c. but then they were too sticky and harder to roll. But delicious, and quite attractive. I also drizzled some dark chocolate over them to make them more festive. Melt white chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave for 15 second shots, stir gently, nuc again, stir. Takes 3 or 4 of these till melted. DON'T OVERCOOK!!! Work on a warming tray.

We have been making these for years. They are a huge hit when I take them to parties too. Instead of white chocolate, I always use dark chocolate. My family always requests them for the holidays — Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This is great with some adjustments -- see also the Buckeyes recipe here in NYT Cooking. These get RAVES. I add 1 generous cup rice crispies to the mix, put in a square pan, use melted dark chocolate on top & sprinkle the top with sea salt. Cut into small squares when chilled through and watch them disappear......You can also follow the Buckeyes recipe with only 1 cup 10X sugar or to taste

this is a good go-to recipe for a quick candy ... but i had a bit of trouble with getting the white chocolate to melt into a spreadable consistency (even through I was using a double boiler) and some of the balls fell apart when i dipped them into the (unforgiving) white chocolate. also, when I tasted the finished product, it seemed like it needed one more ingredient ... maybe a few salted peanuts as an addition to the current recipe?

Very simple and delicious cookies. I used a 2" diameter cookie scoop to portion the peanut butter balls-- found that I had to make a second batch to get 3 dozen balls, and the 12 oz of melted white chocolate was not quite enough to cover all of them. Next time I will use a smaller scoop. I used my store brand natural crunchy peanut butter despite hearing advice to use the adulterated stuff-- and it worked just fine.

When the friends of your young adult kids ask them, “Can your mom make those white chocolate balls?” You know you have a winner. Yes, these are sweet but very easy and always devoured.

Made exactly as written. They were way way too sweet even for family members who love sweet things. Also too big. If I were to make again, I'd make them smaller and not use the white chocolate. Also should have read all the notes first as others wisely changed these things at the get-go.

These were a great addition to our cookie boxes this year. I prefer crushed corn Chex for a better ball shape. Dipped in almond bark and lightly dusted with red sparkles made them pretty for the box.

Add small marshmallows.

I mixed together the butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar before I added the Rice Krispies. I thought that would distribute the ingredients a little better. I made them with about two extra tablespoons of Rice Krispies too. They seemed too sticky to make balls with my hands so I took two small spoons and scraped the dough from one spoon to the other several times to compress the dough. They turned out more like little pyramids :) but I was easily able to make 36 little pyramids.

These are delicious! I bought brown rice crispies and white chocolate chips at whole foods in the bulk section. Melted then over warm water. Perfect! So easy and so unique. I got 26 one inch balls.

This recipe was a bust - I couldn't get the white chocolate to melt so couldn't dip the balls; also it made WAY fewer than 3 dozen; it only make 18 balls and they were not big. Definitely smaller than 1.5 inches. At only 1 C of rice krispies, there is no way the batter can make 3 dozen no matter how tiny you roll up the balls.

The yield is nowhere near 3 dozen with the ingredients listed at the size given. 20-22 is the actual yield.
