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.
