Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter and peanut butter until smooth and well blended.
2. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated.
3. Stir in vanilla extract, then gently fold in Rice Krispies cereal until evenly distributed.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.
5. Place balls on prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
6. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
7. Remove balls from refrigerator in small batches. Using a fork, dip each ball into melted chocolate, coating completely.
8. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then return coated balls to parchment-lined sheet.
9. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate coating is completely set.
10. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

For best results, ensure balls are thoroughly chilled before dipping. If chocolate becomes too thick while coating, reheat briefly. Add decorative drizzles or sea salt before chocolate sets for extra flair. Allow refrigerated balls to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
