Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and melted butter. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, stirring after each addition, until a thick and slightly sticky dough forms.
Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, taking care not to crush the cereal too much, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls using your hands. Place the formed balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Once all the balls are formed, transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (or shortening). Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each session, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optional: If desired, sprinkle the tops of the coated balls with extra crispy rice cereal or a pinch of sea salt before the chocolate sets.
Allow the chocolate to harden completely by placing the baking sheet back into the refrigerator for about 15–20 minutes.
Serve the Chocolate Dipped Krispies Peanut Butter Balls chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
