Description

Crunchy, creamy, and chocolatey—these no-bake treats are a dream combo of peanut butter, Rice Krispies, and rich chocolate coating. Perfect for holidays, parties, or sweet cravings on busy days.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Base:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Crunch:

  • 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Coating:

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until combined.
  2. Add the Crunch: Gently fold in Rice Krispies until evenly distributed.
  3. Shape: Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  4. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  5. Dip & Set: Dip each ball into melted chocolate using a fork or skewer. Let excess drip off, then return to tray. Chill until set.
