Coco Banana PB Crave Balls
June 27th, 2012 | Author: Alysha
It’s no secret that I have about 8 jars of peanut butter in my house. But this is a problem I’d gladly have any day of the week (because I know overnight oats in a jar is in my future). I still have a bit of PB Crave left, so I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to adapt one of their flavors into a recipe.
On Sunday, I met the girls for a Buffy-watching/pizza party. My friend Sun has made Katie Lee’s peanut butter balls many times before, so I knew she’d like this recipe. I used PB Crave’s Coco Bananas to make a banana-infused peanut butter ball. They were so good, I kind of regret leaving them at Jess’s house.
The balls are made with Rice Krispies (hence the holes in the dough). This made them a little airier than typical PB balls.
Coco Banana Peanut Butter Balls
Adapted from Better Homes & Gardens
Makes 25 balls
1/2 cup Coco Bananas PB Crave
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup powdered sugar
6 ounces chocolate Almond Bark
In a bowl, stir together PB Crave and butter. Gradually add cereal and powdered sugar, stirring until combined. Using a small cookie scoop, shape into 1-inch balls. Set on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for one hour.
Break up Almond Bark into a small heatproof bowl. Microwave for about a minute, stirring after 30 seconds, or until melted. Using a fork or dipping tongs, dip balls, one at a time, into coating. Place back on the waxed paper. Once all the balls are dipped, let stand at least 10 minutes. These will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Name a favorite TV show from your past that you’re embarrassed to admit watching. Before soaps were a dying breed, I would have said “All My Children.” My mom watched that show when I was growing up, so I was heartbroken when it went off the air.

I’m pretty sure I’ve watched ALL of the most embarassing shows over the years. While I’m sure most would roll their eyes, I’m not the least bit embarassed to admit that I religiously watched many of them. I also grew up in a soap opera household & will still tune into General Hospital from time to time. Seriously, the men on that show…GORGEOUS! I was a huge fan of all of the Nickelodeon shows; Clarissa, Alex Mack, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, etc. I also LOVED TGIF, but I’m pretty sure any kid living in the 90s did.
These PB balls looks soooo tasty. Can’t wait to try!

These look awesome! Chocolate + peanut butter = my favorite!
Oh man, I have so many favorite childhood TV shows — Full House, Saved by the Bell, Step by Step — but I’m not really embarrassed by them; they’re awesome! haha I guess I’d have to say “Dinosaurs” (Do you remember that? Is that what it’s called?) hahaha that show was WEIRD.
