These no-bake chocolate peanut butter balls come together with a simple 5-ingredient filling. For the coating, chop and melt real chocolate. These candies are as soft as chocolate truffles and as irresistible as peanut butter cups!
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups chocolate chunks (preferably dark), for coating
Servings: 40-50
DIRECTIONS
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and peanut butter. Microwave for 1 minute.
- Using a fork, stir together the melted butter and peanut butter until smooth. Microwave additional 20 seconds, as needed.
- Add the powdered sugar and rice cereal to the bowl. Gently mix together until fully incorporated.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into approximately 40 1-inch balls. Place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chunks. Microwave for 60-75 seconds, stopping to check and stir every 30 seconds.
- Drop the frozen balls in the melted chocolate one at a time, use a fork to roll around to ensure an even coating. Place back on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Garnish with additional rice cereal while the chocolate is still warm. Chill until the chocolate has set.
