Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif/Skippy recommended)

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1½ cups powdered sugar

  • 1½ cups Rice Krispies cereal

  • 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk/dark if preferred)

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smooth coating)


Instructions

  • Mix Base – Cream peanut butter + butter until smooth.

  • Sweeten – Gradually add powdered sugar; mix until thick but rollable.

  • Add Crunch – Fold in Rice Krispies gently.

  • Roll – Scoop ~1 tbsp portions; roll into 1-inch balls. Place on parchment-lined tray.

  • Chill – Refrigerate for 30 mins to firm up.

  • Melt Chocolate – Microwave chocolate + coconut oil in 30-sec bursts, stirring until smooth.
