Delicious Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls
Make these easy, no-bake Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls in under an hour! Crunchy, chocolatey, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 8 –10 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or Stevia-sweetened
Optional: 1–2 teaspoons vegetable oil (to thin chocolate)
Instructions
Mix the Peanut Butter Base
- In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, stirring until thick and well-combined. Then fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, making sure every piece is coated.
Shape the Balls
- Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill
- Chill the balls in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up before dipping in chocolate.
Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, stir in 1–2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to loosen it.
Dip & Coat
- Using a toothpick or dipping tool, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off before placing it back on the lined tray.
Let Set
- Let the chocolate coating set completely—either at room temperature or in the fridge. Once firm, serve immediately or store for later.
