Instructions 👩‍🍳

  1. Prepare the Workstation 🧑‍🍳
    • Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. This makes it easy to cool the Rice Krispie balls without sticking.
    • Set up all ingredients nearby for quick access!
  2. Melt the Marshmallows and Butter
    • In a large pot over low to medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add in the marshmallows, stirring continuously with a heat-safe spatula or spoon.
    • Keep stirring until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
  3. Add Peanut Butter (Optional) 🥜
    • For an extra flavor boost, stir in the peanut butter until it’s melted into the marshmallow mix. This adds a hint of saltiness and richness to balance the sweetness.
  4. Incorporate the Rice Krispies 🍚
    • Remove the pot from the heat and gently stir in the Rice Krispies cereal.
    • Fold the cereal into the melted marshmallow mix until evenly coated. Work quickly here to prevent the marshmallow from cooling too fast!
  5. Form the Balls 🏐
    • Lightly grease your hands with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
    • Take small portions of the mixture (about 1 to 2 tablespoons) and roll them into compact balls. Place each ball onto the parchment-lined tray.

    Tip: If the mixture starts hardening, briefly warm it over low heat to soften.

  6. Melt the Chocolate 🍫
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
    • Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
  7. Dip the Rice Krispie Balls 🍫✨
    • Using a fork or spoon, dip each Rice Krispie ball into the melted chocolate, rolling to coat it evenly. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing the ball back onto the tray.
    • Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts, colored sprinkles, or a white chocolate drizzle over the top before the chocolate hardens.
  8. Cool and Set ❄️
    • Place the tray of chocolate-covered balls in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
  9. Serve and Enjoy 🥳
    • Once the chocolate has hardened, your delicious Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls are ready to enjoy! Serve immediately or store them for later.
