This is the simplest, kid-friendliest recipe I know. I learned it in Home Careers class in Junior high. It's three ingredients, can be made without a stove, and you end up with crunchy balls of chocolate and peanut-butter.
1. Melt 1 cup of chocolate with 1/2 cup of peanut butter. You can use chocolate chips or melting wafers, it doesn't change things very much. You can use a double boiler, an improvised double boiler (i.e. a pot of boiling water with a bowl over it), or the microwave. (If using the microwave, lower the power a little bit, and go 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each go. Melted things in the microwave sometimes hold their shape. If you cook the chocolate in the microwave it gets crumbly and gross; just melt it.)
2. Gently mix 2 cups of Rice Krispies into the melted chocolate and peanut butter. (You don't want to smash the cereal.)
3. Put a piece of wax paper over a cookie sheet.
4. Drop the mixture onto the cookie sheet by the tablespoon.
5. Put it in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.
Done.
