Make these easy, no-bake chocolate peanut butter Rice Krispie balls. This recipe uses simple ingredients for a quick, crunchy, satisfying snack perfect for parties or everyday treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for smoother coating)

Instructions

  1. Combine the crispy rice cereal, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat.
  3. Pour the melted butter over the cereal mixture. Stir well until the mixture holds together.
  4. Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  7. Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet.
  8. Refrigerate the chocolate Rice Krispie balls for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set.

Notes

  • For a cleaner dip, use a toothpick to hold the ball while coating, then gently tap off excess chocolate before placing it back on the sheet.
  • If you want a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • These are excellent for cookie trays and holiday no bake goodies.
