Peanut Butter Balls with Chocolate Rice Krispies: A Crispy, Chocolatey Treat! 🥜🍫
Maya Chen1️⃣ Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly firm.
- Gently fold in the Chocolate Rice Krispies cereal, making sure it's evenly coated.
2️⃣ Roll into Balls
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Place them on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 15–20 minutes until firm.
3️⃣ Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly (but still remain liquid).
4️⃣ Dip the Peanut Butter Balls
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated balls back onto the parchment paper.
- 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!
