Ingredients You’ll Need
1. Rice Krispies Cereal – 2 cups
This gives the treat its signature crunch! You can use any puffed rice cereal, but classic Rice Krispies work best for that light and crispy texture.
2. Peanut Butter – 1 cup
The creamy kind works best here, helping to bind everything together while adding that rich, nutty flavor. If you prefer a chunkier texture, feel free to use crunchy peanut butter!
3. Honey – ½ cup
Honey acts as a natural sweetener and a sticky binder that holds the mixture together. You can swap this for maple syrup if you’d like a vegan option.
4. Vanilla Extract – 1 tsp
A touch of vanilla enhances the flavors and gives the balls a warm, sweet aroma.
5. Dark Chocolate Chips – 1 cup
Melted chocolate adds a luscious finishing touch. Use dark chocolate for a rich flavor, or go for milk chocolate if you like it sweeter.
