Description
These Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls are easy, bite-sized, and delightfully addictive, perfect for festive gatherings!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 8–10 ounces Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Begin by melting the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter together. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl, microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Once the butter and peanut butter are melted and combined, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix everything together until it forms a thick and sticky dough.
- Gently fold the Rice Krispies cereal into the mixture until well coated.
- Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls—aim for about 1 inch in diameter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.
- While the Rice Krispie balls chill, melt the chocolate chips using the microwave-safe bowl in intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully covered. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Return the dipped balls to the parchment-lined sheet and let them set at room temperature or in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.
