Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240g) peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar
- 2 cups (50g) crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
- Gently fold in crispy rice cereal. Mix until the cereal is evenly coated and the mixture holds together.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the balls for 15-20 minutes to firm them up before coating.
- In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using). Stir until smooth.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully covered. Use a fork to lift the ball out, letting excess chocolate drip off.
- Return the chocolate-coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
If the mixture feels too sticky while rolling, refrigerate it for a few minutes to firm up. Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate coating for a sweet and salty twist.
