Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Honey
- 1.5 cups Chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Crisped rice cereal
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips over low heat.
Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Be sure not to overheat.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crisped rice cereal and chopped nuts (if using).
Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the cereal mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the balls for 1 hour or until firm.
Once set, transfer the Goof Balls Candy to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
