Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls
Ingredients:
½ cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons soft butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup Rice Krispies
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup shredded coconut
1 package chocolate chips
1 square sweet chocolate
Directions:
Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, soft butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Add the Rice Krispies, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to firm it up.
Form the Balls: Once the mixture is firm, form it into small balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to ensure they hold their shape.
Melt the Chocolate: In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and the square of sweet chocolate together. Keep the heat on low to maintain a smooth, melted consistency.
Coat the Balls: Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, rolling it to ensure it is fully coated. Place the chocolate-covered balls back on the parchment paper.
Set the Coating: Refrigerate the balls until the chocolate coating is set. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls!
