Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups chocolate rice crispy cereal
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Directions:
Make the peanut butter mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter.
Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
Shape the balls:
Gently fold the chocolate rice crispy cereal into the peanut butter mixture until evenly distributed.
Scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the Balls:
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using).
Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Coating the Balls:
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place the chocolate-covered balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Set the Chocolate:
Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set, about 15-20 minutes.
