  • Melt butter into peanut butter in a medium pot over medium low heat, stirring often
  • In a separate bowl, combine Mini Wheat crumbs and powdered sugar
  • Pour peanut butter butter (heh!) into cereal. Mix well.
  • Add cinnamon chips or butterscotch chips (or you can omit these - they just add an extra layer of flavor)
  • Form balls with clean hands and put in freezer for 15 to 30 minutes, until cool to touch and firm
  • Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a pot over low heat. Stir frequently.
  • Once chocolate is melted, add balls a few at a time and toss to coat in chocolate. Place on a sheet pan with parchment to cool (neatly!)
