Ingredients:
For the Balls:
cup peanut butter
3 tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
cup chopped pecans
1 cup shredded coconut
For the Coating:
1 package chocolate chips
1 square sweet chocolate
Instructions:
1 Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, butter, vanilla extract, Rice Krispies, pecans, and coconut. Mix well until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2 Shape the Balls: Once chilled, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. For a festive touch, you can roll them in red or green sprinkles. Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
3 Melt the Chocolate: Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and sweet chocolate together over low heat. Stir until smooth and silky.
4 Coat the Balls: Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat them evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back onto the parchment paper.
5 Decorate: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the tops with festive holiday sprinkles or mini edible decorations.
6 Set and Serve: Let the chocolate-covered balls set in the fridge until firm. For longer storage, place them in an airtight container and freeze.
