Ingredients
  

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 cup creamy peanut butter

½ cup honey or maple syrup

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Pinch of salt

Extra Rice Krispies for coating (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

    Add Rice Krispies: Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula or your hands to gently fold in the cereal until it's evenly coated.

      Incorporate Chocolate Chips (if using): If you like a chocolatey touch, fold in the mini chocolate chips gently ensuring they are well distributed throughout the mixture.

        Form Balls: Once everything is well mixed, scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls with your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

          Coating (optional): If desired, roll the balls in extra Rice Krispies for an added crunch before placing them on the baking sheet.

            Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes, allowing the balls to firm up.

              Serve: Once chilled and set, store the Rice Krispie Peanut Butter Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy them as a quick snack or dessert!
