Peanut Butter Balls with Chocolate Rice Krispies

Peanut Butter Balls with Chocolate Rice Krispies are just like your favorite Peanut Butter Balls but with a crispy filling thanks to the Rice Krispies. This delicious candy is great for the holidays and cookie trays! Truly, the perfect combination of sweet and salty. A must-make for Christmas!

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 doesn’t love chocolate?)

Instructions

1. 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.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the peanut butter, honey, and salt. Keep stirring until everything is melted and well combined.
3. Once the mixture is smooth and melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until fully coated.
4. Distribute the mixture evenly into the muffin pan liners, pressing it down firmly.
5. In another saucepan over low heat, melt the vegan chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth.
6. Spoon the melted chocolate over each treat in the muffin pan, distributing it evenly.
7. Chill the muffin pan in the refrigerator until the treats are firm.
8. Once firm, remove the treats from the fridge, peel off the liners, and enjoy!
