Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 stick ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 pound chocolate milk, dark, or semi-sweet
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut oil melted

Instructions

Prepare the Mixture:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, crunchy peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  • Gradually fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring the mixture is evenly coated and forms a cohesive dough.

Shape the Balls:

  • Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Once all the balls are shaped, refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm them up.

Melt the Chocolate:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and melted coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

  • Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate and coconut oil.

Coat the Balls:

  • Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  • Optional: Sprinkle toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt on the chocolate-coated balls before they set.

Set the Chocolate:

  • Let the coated balls sit at room temperature until the chocolate firms up, or place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting (about 15-20 minutes).

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Transfer the Rice Krispy Balls to a serving plate or store them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
