Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies
Creamy, crispy, chocolate-coated no-bake treats made with peanut butter, powdered sugar, and Rice Krispies. Quick to prep, freezer-friendly, and perfect for holidays, parties, gifts, or anytime snack attacks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
- Gradually stir in powdered sugar until a soft, rollable dough forms.
- Fold in Rice Krispies cereal gently until evenly distributed.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl (or using a double boiler), melt chocolate chips with coconut oil/shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. Store chilled in an airtight container.
