Equipment

Microwave-safe Bowl
Spatula
Parchment Paper

Ingredients

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey or corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for rolling)

Instructions

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, unsalted butter, and honey (or corn syrup).
Microwave this mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until everything is melted and smooth. This usually takes about 1 to 1.5 minutes total.
Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the chocolate mixture. Gently fold the cereal in using a spatula, making sure all the cereal is evenly coated.
Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes—this makes it easier to handle.
With clean, slightly damp hands, scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. If desired, roll each ball in the mini chocolate chips.
Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined tray. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or until firm.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later snacking!
