This sounds devine - hopefully libby can come up with the measurement.

I hope so too!Bump

I read it as 1 cup of flour added in two halves - first half by itself and second half with the baking powder...but I'm open to other possibilities until libby comes along :)

I don't know but I'm guessing that the ? cup flour = ½ cup flour.
I recall that sometimes and for some reason that I can't explain ½ once it went into cyberspace became a ?

Please libby51, come and clarify what the ? = , there are some mouths watering at the thought of this peanutty treat.:-))

While all the Peanut Butter Nutters are gathered in one place, here's a recipe passed on to me by a Dutch friend.

TASHA'S PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
Combine well:
1 cup extra-chunky peanut butter
1 cup rice bubbles
1 cup icing sugar
3 Tablespoons softened butter (NOT melted)
Note: You can add extra chopped peanuts if you like, but they're not necessary if you use the extra-chunky peanut butter.

Mix and roll into tsp-sized balls and chill in fridge.

Melt 375 gms of Whittaker's dark chocolate - I prefer Dark Ghana. To melt chocolate, bring water to boil in a saucepan, take off heat, fit bowl with chocolate in it on top tightly without it touching the water and stir till melted - about 3 to 4 minutes.

Take chilled balls, dip into chocolate using two forks and place on baking paper to set.Store in fridge.
