Recipe View 1 hrs Refrigerate the chocolate-covered peanut butter balls until the chocolate is firm and set, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. (1 hour)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the peanut butter mixture.
To prevent the chocolate from seizing while melting, ensure no water or steam comes into contact with it.
If you don't have cornflakes, rice crispies or other similar cereals can be used as a substitute.
For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet.
