Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (milk or dark chocolate)
1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (for smooth chocolate coating)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until fully coated.
- Shape the Balls: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the mixture and roll it into small balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
- Dip and Coat: Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing the balls back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the coated peanut butter balls for 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy!
