Description
A delightful and easy-to-make treat, Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls combine the crunch of Rice Krispies with the richness of chocolate for a perfect sweet snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 3 tbsp soft butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup Rice Krispies
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 package chocolate chips
- 1 square sweet chocolate
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soft butter, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Mix in the Rice Krispies, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed and well coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, take small portions and roll them into balls using your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a double boiler over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and sweet chocolate together. Stir continuously until smooth and creamy. Keep the heat low to prevent the chocolate from hardening too quickly.
- Using a fork, dip each Rice Krispie ball into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-coated balls back onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Transfer the sheet to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set completely, usually about 1 hour.
Notes
- For a different flavor, try adding other nuts or dried fruits.
- These treats can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Make sure the chocolate stays warm while dipping the balls to ensure an even coat.
