Krispy Peanut Butter Balls
By: Amber Grangroth
Krispy Peanut Butter Balls are sweet and delicious, the perfect addition to any cookie tray! These no bake treats are so easy to make that my boys could follow this recipe. They had them all done in an evening and were licking the extra chocolate off their fingers. We love peanut butter, and when combined with chocolate its even better!
The crushed rice krispies add the perfect little crunch to each bite and the semi sweet chocolate chips add just the right amount of sweetness. Feel free to experiment with white, dark, or even milk chocolate. And add any garneshes on top that you’d like before the chocolate hardens. Some ideas would be crushed heath, drizzle a different kind of chocolate over the top, crushed pretzles, sprinkles, or flaked salt.
If you find you have extra chocolate when you’ve covered all your peanut butter balls, pull some fruit or pretzles out and use up the rest for a little extra treat! My boys made some chocolate covered blueberries with the leftover chocolate. Yum!!
