Wait This is another one my aunt makes ...probably thr eone you want :laugh:

NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. Karo syrup (white)
3 1/2 c. cornflakes
1 c. chunky or smooth peanut butter

Over very low flame, stirring constantly. Cook sugar and syrup until dissolved. Add peanut butter; stir until well blended. Remove from stove and stir in cornflakes; blend until well coated but not crushed. Let cool until you can hold hand on bottom of pan. Take egg sized portions and work rapidly into balls. If hands become sticky, moisten with butter. let balls cool on wax paper.

I just did yesterday a very simiilar recipe.
I was following the recipe my grandmother use. Here it is :

1 cup of light peanut butter
3/4 cup corn sirup (what you call Karo sirup I think)
2 tablespoon of butter
5 cups of Rice Krispies
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chipits

Just lightly warm the 3 first ingredients (do not boil).
Add the Rice Krispies.
Put it on a pan.
Add on the mix the chocolate you have previously melt in a double boiler.

My boyfriend who are a Reese's lover REALLY likes that recipe ! :slurp:
