Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls

Here’s a quick and easy recipe for Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls:

Ingredients:

• 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 1/4 cup honey (or corn syrup)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
• 1/2 cup sprinkles or crushed nuts (optional, for coating)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice Krispies Mixture:
   • In a large bowl, pour in the Rice Krispies cereal.
2. Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and honey.
   • Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
3. Combine the Mixtures:
   • Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir gently until the cereal is evenly coated. If you’re using mini marshmallows, fold them in now.
4. Form the Balls:
   • Once the mixture is well combined, let it cool slightly to make it easier to handle. Using your hands or a cookie scoop, roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter).
5. Optional Coating:
   • If you like, you can roll the balls in sprinkles or crushed nuts to add a fun coating.
6. Let Set:
   • Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.
7. Serve:
   • Once the chocolate has set and the balls are firm, they’re ready to enjoy!
