1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: sprinkles, shredded coconut, or melted white chocolate for topping

Timing

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Instructions

Step 1: Melt and Mix

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, peanut butter, honey (or corn syrup), and chocolate chips together. Stir constantly until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.

Step 2: Add Rice Krispies

Pour in the Rice Krispies and mix until fully coated. The mixture should be thick and sticky.

Step 3: Roll into Balls

Let the mixture cool for 5–10 minutes, then scoop and roll into 1-inch balls using your hands or a cookie scoop. Place on a parchment-lined tray.

Step 4: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up. Decorate with sprinkles, drizzle with melted chocolate, or roll in coconut if desired.

Tips for Success

Use mini chocolate chips for easier melting.
Don’t skip the chilling — it helps them hold their shape.
Want them crunchier? Add crushed nuts or chopped pretzels for texture.
Make it allergy-friendly by using sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. Let thaw for 5–10 minutes before eating.
