Calories: 163kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup (258 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups (43.5 g) Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups (364 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, melted butter, and Rice Krispies. Stir until the mixture is well blended and holds together.
- Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, portion out the mixture into balls. (I made 27.) Roll until smooth and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- When ready, prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted.
- Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, covering completely. Using a fork, lift out the chocolate-covered peanut butter balls. Use a toothpick or another fork to slide the balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
