Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Stir in powdered sugar until combined and thick.
  3. Fold in Rice Krispies cereal gently until evenly mixed.
  4. Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Chill peanut butter balls for 20 minutes until firm.
  6. Melt chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
  7. Dip chilled peanut butter balls into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off before placing back on parchment paper.
  8. Chill until chocolate is fully set before serving.

Notes

Use regular creamy peanut butter instead of natural peanut butter for best texture. If the mixture feels too sticky, chill it briefly before rolling. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. These freeze well for longer storage.
