These no-bake Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies combine creamy peanut butter, sweet powdered sugar, and crunchy rice krispies cereal, all coated in smooth semi-sweet chocolate. Perfect for holiday treats, this easy recipe requires no baking and makes a deliciously addictive snack.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 18 peanut butter balls

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Ball Mixture

  • 1 cup creamy no stir peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 ½ cups rice krispies cereal

Chocolate Coating

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

  1. Combine Peanut Butter and Butter: Use a KitchenAid mixer or hand mixer to thoroughly combine the creamy no stir peanut butter and melted salted butter until smooth and fully blended.
  2. Add Rice Krispies: Gently fold in the rice krispies cereal until evenly distributed throughout the peanut butter mixture.
  3. Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes thick and starts to get hard to mix with the mixer.
  4. Mix by Hand: Finish combining the mixture using a rubber spatula to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated and the texture is uniform.
  5. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  6. Scoop and Shape Balls: Using a cookie scoop, portion out the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Then, roll each portion into smooth balls with your hands to form even, bite-sized treats.
  7. Chill the Balls: Place the rolled peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill and firm up before dipping.
  8. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers in short intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
  9. Dip Peanut Butter Balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Set the Chocolate: Chill the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm and set.
  11. Storage: Store leftover peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days, or freeze for several weeks for longer storage.

Notes

  • Ensure the peanut butter is no-stir creamy peanut butter to achieve the best texture and ease of mixing.
  • Melting chocolate in short microwave bursts and stirring between helps prevent scorching.
  • Rolling the balls with slightly damp hands can prevent sticking.
  • If the mixture feels too soft, chilling it briefly before rolling can make shaping easier.
  • These peanut butter balls can be customized by using milk chocolate or white chocolate coatings.
