Description
Crunchy peanut butter and crispy cereal inside a chocolate shell make these Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls one scrumptious holiday favorite we crave year ’round!
Ingredients
- 2 cups crunchy peanut butter (no-stir)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups semi‐sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons canola or coconut oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar and cereal until well combined.
- Form mixture into 1-inch balls with your hands. It will be sticky at first, but just keep rolling the mixture between the palm of your hands until it holds together in a ball shape. Coat your hands with non-stick cooking spray, if necessary. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with 2 teaspoons oil for 60 seconds in the microwave and then stir continuously until completely melted and smooth. Microwave an additional 30 seconds, if necessary.
- Drop peanut butter balls, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. Using a fork, roll the peanut butter ball to coat completely in the chocolate and gently lift to let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Transfer back to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining peanut butter balls until they are all coated.
- Drizzle each coated peanut butter ball with some of the remaining melted chocolate for a decorative touch.
- Let coated peanut butter balls set until coating is completely dry.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator or freezer.
