Here’s a simple, no-bake favorite that’s perfect for holidays, parties, or just a sweet snack.
🍫 Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls

In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter, butter, and vanilla until smooth. - Add sugar:
Gradually mix in powdered sugar until fully combined. - Fold in cereal:
Gently stir in Rice Krispies until evenly distributed. - Shape:

Chill for 30–60 minutes until firm. - Melt chocolate:
Microwave chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between, until smooth. - Dip:
Using a fork, dip each ball into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Return to parchment and chill until set.

If you’d like a version without peanut butter or a more fudgy/chewy style, I can share that too!
