Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add Rice Krispies: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly distributed throughout the peanut butter mixture.
Form the Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Balls: Transfer the peanut butter balls to the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Coat the Balls: Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Set the Chocolate: Let the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm.
Serve and Enjoy:
