Ingredients
– 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
– 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
– 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for coating)
– Optional: sprinkles or chopped nuts (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and melted. Remove from heat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Krispies cereal. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently fold to coat the cereal evenly.
3. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Once it’s cool enough to handle, use your hands to scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
4. In a small bowl, add the mini chocolate chips (or any desired coating). Roll each Rice Krispie ball in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are well coated. You can also sprinkle with additional toppings like sprinkles or chopped nuts.
5. Place the chocolate Rice Krispie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Enjoy!
