Servings 24 balls

Ingredients

  • 16 oz jar of creamy peanut butter Jiff or Skippy - not the natural stuff
  • 1 stick butter, at room temp or slightly softer
  • 1 lb confectioners sugar
  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 24 oz chocolate chips (semi sweet or milk, or mixed)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter, then mix in the powdered sugar. Last, add the Rice Krispies, using your hands to combine all the ingredients into a relatively balanced dough.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and start rolling balls of the dough that are roughly the size of a ping pong ball. Stack them on the baking sheet, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • In a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water, melt the chocolate along with the coconut oil until smooth and runny. You can use any kind of chocolate, semi sweet and milk chocolate is a great combination, but pick one or the other if you prefer.
  • When the balls have chilled, and the chocolate is ready, line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Using two large spoons, start dipping the peanut butter balls into the chocolate, dripping the excess before placing onto the new baking sheet. Allow them to cool, and store in the fridge for up to 10 days in an airtight container.
