O wells it was still yummy

Ok so im an experimental kinda chick a lot of the time... These were inspired by easter candy and candy balls i remember making in middle school but i changed it.. whichhhh was not as successful as i hoped lol.. It was homemade icing with ricecripys covered in peanut butter.. well they got kinda soggy after a day and was dissapointed but hey they still were yummy for a bit.
