Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons soft butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Rice Krispies
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 package chocolate chips (for melting)
  • 1 square sweet chocolate (for melting)

Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soft butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  2. Add the Rice Krispies, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut to the bowl. Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
  3. Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes, then form it into small balls.
  4. Return the balls to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least an hour to firm up.
  5. Set up a double boiler: fill a pot with a small amount of water and place a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl.
