Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and peanut butter. Mix until smooth.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined. The mixture should be thick but moldable.
  3. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  4. Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips (and shortening if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  7. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each Rice Krispie ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess chocolate drip off.
  8. Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper.
  9. Chill again for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  10. Enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
