Crunchy Peanut Butter Balls
No-bake crunchy peanut butter balls with Rice Krispies cereal and chocolate coating.
Ingredients
- Peanut butter
- Butter softened
- Powdered sugar
- Rice Krispies cereal
- Chocolate almond bark or melting chocolate
- Optional shortening or coconut oil for thinning chocolate
Instructions
- Mix peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar gradually and mix until a firm dough forms.
- Fold in Rice Krispies cereal.
- Roll mixture into small balls and place on a parchment-lined pan.
- Chill until firm.
- Melt chocolate according to package directions.
- Dip peanut butter balls in melted chocolate and return to parchment.
- Let set completely before storing.
Notes
Chill the peanut butter balls before dipping so they hold their shape. If the chocolate is too thick, thin it with a small amount of shortening or coconut oil. Store in the refrigerator or freezer for the best texture. These freeze well and are a good make-ahead holiday candy.
