Melt the peanut butter and butter together and mix well (you can melt these two by placing them in a microwave safe bowl and microwaving them for 10 seconds. Repeat another 10 seconds and so on until they are melted but not hot)
Add in the vanilla extract
Add in the almond extract and mix well
Add in the powdered sugar as well as the cereal and mix well using a spoon.
Then, when all ingredients are well incorporated, lightly grease your hands with a bit of oil or butter and roll spoonfuls of the mixture in your hands. Roll them into balls until all the mixture has been used up.
Chill peanut butter balls in the fridge for 30 minutes or so.
Melt your favorite chocolate ( I used milk and white). You can melt your chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Again, microwaving at 10 second intervals until chocolate is melted or use a double boiler.
Then dip the chilled peanut butter balls into the chocolate. I used a fork to rolls the balls around in the chocolate and then gently remove them from the chocolate.
Then place them on parchment paper until the chocolate hardens. You can add some sprinkles if you like to give them a festive feel or leave them plain. If you chose to add sprinkles make sure you add them before the chocolate hardens.
