Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Butter or non-stick spray (for hands)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey.
Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is warm and easy to stir. Alternatively, you can heat it on the stovetop over low heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the peanut butter mixture. Gently mix until the cereal is evenly coated.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding the mini chocolate chips. Stir gently to distribute the chips without melting them.
Lightly grease your hands with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Place the Rice Krispies balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
Refrigerate the balls for 20-30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Store the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Rice Krispies Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
