Instructions 👩🍳
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
