Description
Delicious and festive Christmas Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls that are easy to make and perfect for holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Holiday sprinkles (red, green, white, or mixed)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Rice Krispies cereal, peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip each Rice Krispie ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat completely. Let excess chocolate drip off before returning to parchment.
- Decorate with holiday sprinkles immediately before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
Notes
- For a smoother chocolate coating, ensure to use coconut oil while melting the chocolate.
- These treats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week.
- Feel free to use different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate, for variety.
