Peanut Butter Balls with Chocolate Rice Krispies: A Crispy, Chocolatey Treat! 🥜🍫


 

1️⃣ Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
  2. Gradually mix in powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly firm.
  3. Gently fold in the Chocolate Rice Krispies cereal, making sure it's evenly coated.

2️⃣ Roll into Balls

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  3. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 15–20 minutes until firm.

3️⃣ Melt the Chocolate

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  2. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly (but still remain liquid).

4️⃣ Dip the Peanut Butter Balls

  1. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
  2. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated balls back onto the parchment paper.
  3. Optional: Sprinkle with extra Chocolate Rice Krispies, sea salt, or crushed peanuts for decoration!

5️⃣ Chill & Set

  • Place the tray in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or until the chocolate is completely set).
  • Enjoy your crispy, peanut butter-chocolate delights!
