Ingredients

  • 2¼ cups peanut butter creamy
  • ½ cup butter 1 stick
  • 4 cups powdered sugar confectioner’s
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 16-20 ounces chocolate or candy coating

Instructions

  • Melt the peanut butter and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often, until fully melted and smooth.
    2¼ cups peanut butter, ½ cup butter
  • Mix the cereal and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
    4 cups powdered sugar, 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the cereal and stir until well distributed.
  • Use a small cookie scoop and your hands to form 1-inch balls with the mixture. Place onto a parchment (or wax) paper lined baking sheet. You can crowd these pretty close together so they will all fit on one sheet.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  • Melt the chocolate or candy coating, using 30 second bursts in the microwave, until it is stir able and smooth.
    16-20 ounces chocolate or candy coating
  • Place a peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate and roll it around to coat. (I use 2 forks for this) Remove the coated ball and allow the excess chocolate to drip off, then transfer to a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet. Leave a little room between the balls so they do not end up sticking together. You’ll probably need to use 2 baking sheets for this step.
  • Refrigerate the balls until the chocolate coating is completely firm.
  • For best results, store in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

If using chocolate chips for the coating, add a little coconut oil to the chips when melting to make a smooth coating.
