Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 0.333 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Rice cereal (e.g., Rice Krispies)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to the bowl. Mix everything until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the rice cereal, mixing until the cereal is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray. You should end up with about 24 balls.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. If desired, add coconut oil to make the chocolate easier to drizzle.
Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or spoon, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment paper.
Allow the chocolate to set for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator or until firm.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the Peanut Butter Crunch Balls to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
