Rice Krispie Peanut Butter Balls
This no-bake dessert is so good! Rice Krispies Peanut Butter Balls are 2-bite chocolate-covered treats that are so easy and delish! Makes 18 balls.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy no stir peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal, do not use off-brand of Rice Krispies
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- 12 oz Semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper, for 18 balls.
- Mix together the peanut butter and melted butter with a hand or stand mixer.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix to combine.
- Mix in the rice krispies and the coconut until combined, or use a wooden spoon to really stir it well (batter will be thick).
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough into your hands and roll to form a ball. Place on the parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill the dough.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave until smooth on 50% heat.
- Gently dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate one at a time, using a fork to roll them so that the chocolate covers each piece, then place back onto the baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet back into the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Store leftover peanut butter balls in an airtight container for several days, or in the freezer for up to 4 weeks.
- TIP: You can freeze the balls BEFORE you add the chocolate, and add the chocolate later if you prefer.
