Buckeye Balls with Rice Krispies Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 ½ cup creamy peanut butter

  like Jif or Skippy
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
• 1 ½ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• sprinkles
• chopped nuts
• toffee pieces

Instructions

• 1 Heat a saucepan over low heat and add creamy peanut butter and butter. Let melt
  and whisk together until well combined.
• 2 In a mixing bowl, add Rice Krispie cereal and powdered sugar. Toss together so
  ingredients are well mixed.
• 3 Pour the melted butter/peanut butter onto the powder sugar covered Rice
  Krispies. Use a rubber spatula to mix everything together. This will take a few
  minutes.
• 4 Tip: if you have time to chill the mixture for 10-15 minutes prior to forming
  them into a ball, it makes it much easier (and less sticky).
• 5 Once everything is coated, spray a cookie scoop with cooking spray. Scoop even
  sized balls and place onto parchment paper. For perfectly shaped Buckeye Balls
  (or if you don’t have a cookie scoop), grease your hands and roll the mixture
  into balls.
• 6 In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil.
  Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until chocolate
  is completely liquid (you may also do this in a double boiler on the stove - see
  notes).
• 7 Use a spoon or two forks to lower the peanut butter balls into the melted
  chocolate (again, if the balls are chilled, it makes this step much smoother).
  Spoon chocolate over the top and ensure they’re evenly coated before removing.
  You can also use a thin skewer - simply place the buckeye ball on the skewer and
  use it to rotate in the chocolate.
• 8 Place the chocolate covered balls on the parchment paper lined baking sheet /
  wire rack. Add whatever garnishes you wish.
• 9 Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until chocolate has hardened. Enjoy!
