Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
Peanut Butter Balls with rice krispies have always been my favorite candy โ to make and to eat. I grew up making them with my Nana and they were one of the first recipes I ever learned to make on my own. With just a handful of ingredients, these easy chocolate peanut butter balls are the first candy recipe I make during the holiday season and we make a batch about once a week until it ends.
It takes me a good two weeks after Christmas to be craving them again ๐คฃ
Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Balls
Chocolate and peanut butter is such an amazing flavor pairing and these easy peanut butter balls do not disappoint. Creamy, savory peanut butter paired with a divine chocolate coating is the perfect base for this recipe. My Nana loved adding rice krispies to the basic peanut butter ball recipe and itโs been my favorite way to make them every since.
Peanut Butter Balls have been around for a long, long time. They are a very simple, no bake candy recipe that consists of four basic ingredients: peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar and chocolate.
They have a soft, creamy interior with a savory peanut butter filling and a chocolate shell that cracks when you bite into the candy.

Ingredients
1 cup of crunchy peanut butter (the chunkier, the better!)
6 tablespoons of honey (for that extra touch of sweetness)
1/8 teaspoon of salt (just a pinch to enhance the flavors)
3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal (the classic crispy goodness)
1 1/2 cups of vegan chocolate chips (because who doesnโt love chocolate?)
How To Make Peanut Butter Balls with Chocolate Rice Krispies
Grab a muffin pan and line it with liners. Give them a light spray of non-stick spray to make sure your treats come out easily.
Time to melt some goodness! In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the peanut butter, honey, and salt. Keep stirring until everything is melted and well combined. Youโll start to smell the delicious aroma!
Once the mixture is smooth and melted, take it off the heat. Now itโs time to add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir it in until all the cereal is coated and mixed well. You want every bite to be packed with that peanut butter flavor.
Get your muffin pan ready and evenly distribute the mixture into the liners. Press it down firmly to make sure everything sticks together nicely. You donโt want any crumbly treats!
Now for the chocolaty goodness. In another saucepan over low heat, melt those vegan chocolate chips. Keep stirring constantly until theyโre perfectly melted and smooth. Be careful not to burn it!
Spoon the melted chocolate over each treat in the muffin pan, making sure to distribute it smoothly and evenly. Get creative and make some swirls or patterns if youโre feeling fancy.
Itโs time to chill out! Pop the muffin pan in the refrigerator and let the treats firm up. It wonโt take too long, just enough time to build up your excitement.
Once theyโre firm and ready to go, take them out of the fridge. Peel off the liners and get ready to indulge in these irresistible Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats. Share them with friends or keep them all to yourself โ no judgment here!
So, go ahead and treat yourself to these delectable goodies. Theyโre the perfect combination of sweet, crunchy, and chocolaty goodness that will satisfy your cravings in no time. Enjoy every bite and savor the deliciousness!
