Peanut Butter Balls with Chocolate Rice Krispies

 

Here’s an easy and delicious Peanut Butter Balls with Chocolate Rice Krispies recipe—perfect for a crunchy, chocolatey treat!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup chocolate-flavored Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 ½ cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in powdered sugar until combined, then fold in the chocolate Rice Krispies until evenly mixed.
3. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes until firm.
4. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
5. Dip the Balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
6. Set & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is fully set. Enjoy!

Tips:

• If the peanut butter mixture is too soft, chill it longer before rolling.
• Sprinkle a little sea salt on top for extra flavor!
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
