Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies are a quick, no-bake treat combining creamy peanut butter, crispy Rice Krispies, and rich chocolate. Perfect as a snack, dessert, or gift, they offer a delightful texture contrast and nostalgic flavor with minimal ingredients and effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for melting chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth and thick, ensuring the mixture will hold together when Rice Krispies are added.
  2. Add Rice Krispies: Gently fold the Rice Krispies into the peanut butter mixture, coating every crisp without crushing them to maintain crunch.
  3. Form the Balls: Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Melt the chocolate chips with butter in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth and glossy, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  5. Coat the Balls: Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate until fully covered. Place back onto the parchment-lined tray and let the chocolate harden, refrigerating to speed up if desired.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature peanut butter and butter for easier mixing.
  • Fold Rice Krispies gently to preserve crunch.
  • Allow melted chocolate to cool slightly before dipping to prevent a thin, runny coating.
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniform ball sizes.
  • Store balls in a single layer or between parchment sheets to prevent sticking.
