Crispy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bon Bons (WW-Friendly)

If you’ve ever enjoyed a buckeye candy, you are going to want to give these crispy bon bons a try. Buckeyes are like peanut butter balls, but rather than being completely covered in chocolate, the peanut butter fudge confections are only partially dipped in melted chocolate, leaving a circle of peanut butter visible.

These easy no-bake bons bons have much less sugar than traditional buckeyes, and the the crispy rice cereal adds a pleasant lightness and crunch.

These chocolate covered bon bons are best enjoyed the day they are made. They will keep in the refrigerator, but the crispy rice cereal will lose its crunch and get soggy over time.
