Description
Delicious no-bake chocolate rice krispie balls with a creamy peanut butter center, perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying as a late-night snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1/2 cup honey or light corn syrup
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed nuts, flaky sea salt, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare a tray by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine butter and chocolate chips. Stir constantly until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Stir in peanut butter, honey (or corn syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is homogeneous and glossy.
- In a large mixing bowl, place the Rice Krispies. Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold with a rubber spatula.
- Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. Form heaping tablespoons into compact balls and place them on the prepared tray.
- Chill the tray in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to set.
Notes
If the mixture becomes too stiff to shape, briefly warm it in the microwave or over a double boiler. Use a small cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
