Rice Krispie Peanut Butter Balls

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer) combine peanut butter, powdered sugar and melted butter. Mix on medium speed until well combined and creamy. Pour in the puffed rice cereal and mix on low for 10-15 seconds until evenly distributed.

Step 2

Using a cookie scoop (or your hands and best guess) roll out 1-2 tbsp balls of the peanut butter mixture and arrange on the parchment lined baking tray until all of the mixture has been used up. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 15 minutes (or the fridge for at least an hour) to firm them up before covering in chocolate.

Step 3

Once the peanut butter balls have firmed up melt the chocolate. Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for about a minute and a half in 30 second increments. Stirring each time until the chocolate is melted.

Step 4

Take the balls out of the freezer and carefully drop them into the melted chocolate, one at a time, rolling until they are completely covered. Use a fork to remove them onto the parchment lined tray. Repeat until all of the balls have been covered. Garnish with sprinkles or extra rice Krispies if desired. Allow them to chill in the fridge until the chocolate is fully set. Enjoy!
