Can anyone help me with this reicpe?!
I am making this recipe!.
Cheerio Balls
1 c!. peanut butter
1/2 c!. powdered sugar
1/2 c!. light corn syrup
2 c!. cheerios cereal
1 (6oz!.) pkg!. milk chocolate chips
2 tbsp water
Mix peanut butter, powdered sugar and corn syrup in a medium bowl!. Stir in cereal!. Shape mixture into 1 1/2" balls, flatten slightly!. Heat chocolate chips and water in saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted, cool!. Dip tops of balls into chocolate!. Place on waxed paper lined cookie sheet!. Refrigerate until firm!.
I am in the middle of making the recipe, but I think I made the mistake of using natural peanut butter because the peanut butter, corn syrup and powdered sugar are all just clumping together and I can't seem to make it smooth enough to mix the cheerios in!.
I've tried to mix them in and now it's just one big clump and way too dry to mix together!.
Do you think it's because I used the natural peanut butter instead of regular or did I do something wrong!?
Any suggestions or help on how to fix this would be appreciated!.
I need to have them for a pot luck tomorrow morning!.
