Description
These no-bake peanut butter balls with chocolate Rice Krispies are a quick and delicious treat, combining creamy peanut butter, crispy cereal, and rich chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1½ cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
- Mix the peanut butter and softened butter in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar gradually, mixing on low speed to prevent a powdery cloud.
- Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal using a spatula, ensuring all cereal is coated.
- Form smooth balls using a cookie scoop or measuring spoon and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to solidify.
- Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing on parchment paper.
