Ingredients
for the balls:
½ cup of peanut butter.
3 tablespoons soft butter.
1 teaspoon vanilla.
1 cup of Rice Krispies.
½ cup of chopped pecans.
1 cup of shredded coconut.
for the chocolate:
1 package of chocolate chips.
1 square of sweet chocolate.
Directions
For the balls:
Step 1:
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Ensure the mix is uniform, then let sit in the freezer for about four hours or overnight
Step 2:
Take out of the refrigerator and mold the chilled mixed ingredients into balls. Place in a tray and place in the refrigerator and let chill for an hour and a half.
For the chocolate:
Step 3:
Melt the chocolate chips and sweet chocolate together in a double boiler. Keep the boiler on low setting so that the chocolate remains soft.
Step 4:
Take the balls out of the refrigerator and then drop them one at a time into the melted chocolate mix. Use a fork to roll them so that the chocolate covers each ball completely.
Step 5:
Place the chocolate-covered balls on parchment paper and allow them to sit in the fridge until you’re ready to consume. Store in an airtight container and allow to warm up to room temperature before consuming. This allows the balls to be softer.
Tips
These chocolate Rice Krispy balls are best enjoyed within a couple of days. They will keep well for longer, up to 5 days, but the texture won’t be as soft.
