Description

A delightful no-bake dessert featuring crispy Rice Krispies, creamy peanut butter, crunchy pecans, and shredded coconut, all coated in rich melted chocolate. These Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls are perfect for parties, sweet cravings, or as a quick and easy treat that requires minimal effort and no baking.

Ingredients

Base Mixture

  • ½ cup Peanut Butter
  • 3 tablespoons Soft Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Rice Krispies
  • ½ cup Chopped Pecans
  • 1 cup Shredded Coconut

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 package Chocolate Chips (approximately 10-12 ounces)
  • 1 square Sweet Chocolate (about 1 oz)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soft butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the Rice Krispies, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut, folding everything together until well incorporated.
  2. Chill Mixture: Place the mixture into the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to handle and shape.
  3. Form Balls: Once chilled, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, using your hands or a small scoop.
  4. Second Chill: Arrange the formed balls on a tray and return them to the fridge for at least 1 hour to set fully and become firm.
  5. Melt Chocolate: Prepare a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Add the chocolate chips and sweet chocolate to the bowl and stir occasionally, keeping the heat low until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  6. Coat Balls: Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it completely. Lift with the fork and let excess chocolate drip off before placing it back onto parchment paper.
  7. Set Chocolate: Place the chocolate-coated balls back in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for quicker setting or a firmer texture.

Notes

  • For firmer balls, freeze overnight before coating them with chocolate.
  • You can substitute almonds for pecans if preferred for a different nutty flavor.
  • Use parchment paper when setting the chocolate to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  • Store finished balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
