Make these easy, no-bake chocolate peanut butter Rice Krispie balls. They are a quick dessert snack perfect for parties or family treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients well until everything is evenly coated.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal mixture. Stir quickly until the cereal is completely covered in chocolate.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can use a cookie scoop for uniform size.
  5. Shape each spoonful gently into a ball with your hands. Work quickly before the chocolate sets.
  6. Let the chocolate Rice Krispie balls set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or chill them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until firm.
  7. Serve these homemade chocolate candy treats or store them in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If the mixture seems too dry to hold a shape, add one tablespoon of melted butter to help bind it.
  • These make-ahead sweets keep well for up to one week when stored properly.
