– 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
Creating Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well blended.
2. Add Rice Krispies: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies until they are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
3. Form Balls: Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Chill: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the peanut butter mixture to set.
5. Melt Chocolate: While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
6. Coat Peanut Butter Balls: Once chilled, remove the balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift the chocolate-covered ball and let any excess chocolate drip off.
7. Place on Baking Sheet: Return the coated balls back to the lined baking sheet.
8. Chill Again: Place the baking sheet back into the refrigerator for another 20-30 minutes until the chocolate coating is set.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies are ready to serve!
