Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Ball Mixture

  • 1 cup creamy no-stir peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 ½ cups Rice Krispies cereal

Chocolate Coating

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

  1. Combine Peanut Butter and Butter: Use a KitchenAid or hand mixer to blend the creamy peanut butter with the melted salted butter until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Rice Krispies: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly distributed throughout the peanut butter mixture.
  3. Mix in Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix to combine. As it thickens, switch to a rubber spatula to finish mixing the dense mixture thoroughly.
  4. Form Balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, drop or roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them onto the baking sheet.
  5. Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  6. Melt the Chocolate: In the microwave, melt the chocolate chips or melting wafers in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  7. Dip the Balls in Chocolate: Coat each chilled peanut butter ball in melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully covered, and return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Final Chill: Place the chocolate-coated balls back into the fridge and chill until the chocolate is set and firm.
  9. Storage: Store leftover peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days or freeze for longer storage up to several weeks.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture and binding.
  • Ensure the cookie scoop is lightly greased to prevent sticking when forming balls.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate with dark or milk chocolate according to preference.
  • For a firmer shell, chill the balls again after dipping in chocolate.
  • Allow chocolate to cool slightly before dipping to avoid melting the peanut butter mixture.
