Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 3/4 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1 tsp honey or pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips melted
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
- Combine peanut butter (I used creamy), cereal, and sweetener (I used maple syrup), in a medium bowl. Stir gently not to crush the cereal too much.
- Roll the mixture into 12 balls, or use a cookie scoop for more precise portions and less perfectly round balls.
- Place the peanut butter balls with rice krispies on the prepared baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Working quickly, roll the chilled balls in the melted chocolate (I melted my chocolate chips at 1/2 power in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each until smooth).
- Return the chocolate dipped peanut butter balls to the freezer until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
Notes
- I chose to dip 1/2 of each peanut butter ball in dark chocolate and 1/2 in white chocolate, but you can do so as you prefer. (Most of my taste testers ended up preferring the dark chocolate to the white with the peanut butter.)
- Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
