Equipment
- Mixing Bowl(s)
- Wax Paper
- Cookie Sheet
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 ½ cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 3 cups Semisweet Chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp Vegetable oil
- Sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
- Use an electric hand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract.
- Add the powdered sugar about ¼ cup at a time, mixing between each addition.
- Use a wooden spoon to hand mix the Rice Krispie cereal into the bowl. Portion the dough into 1 Tbsp portions and roll into a ball in your hand. Place the Peanut Butter Balls on the wax paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- When the dough is almost done freezing, melt the chocolate chips. To do so, place the chocolate chips and the vegetable oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 second increments, stirring between each set, until completely melted.
- Remove the dough from the freezer. Drop the peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate, then place the balls back on the wax paper lined baking sheet.
- Place the cookie sheet back in the freezer for another 5-10 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Then serve and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
- Butter: I use unsalted butter, but you can also use salted.
- Creamy Peanut Butter: This recipe uses the peanut butter that you do not have to stir. Natural peanut butter where the oil separates from the ground peanuts may have a different texture and need different measurements. If you want extra crunchy Peanut Butter balls, use Crunchy Peanut Butter.
- Rice Krispie Cereal: For a gluten free option, use a gluten free crispy rice cereal. Rice Krispies name brand cereal is not gluten free.
- Semisweet Chocolate Chips: Or dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate.
- If your chocolate keeps cooling down too fast before you can finish dipping your peanut butter balls, try only melting 1-2 cups of chocolate chips at a time. Then move on to melting the next batch when it’s time.
- Feel free to mix in other additions into the peanut butter dough. Get creative with other cereals, candies or flavorings
