  • Pinch of salt

  • 2 cups (50g) crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)

  • 12 oz (340g) dark or milk chocolate chips

  • Gently fold in crispy rice cereal until fully coated.

2. Shape the Balls

  • Chill 15 mins to firm up.

3. Melt the Chocolate

  • Microwave chocolate + coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.

4. Coat & Set

  • Dip each ball into chocolate, letting excess drip off.

  • Return to tray and sprinkle with sea salt or crushed peanuts (optional).

  • Chill 10 mins until set.

Pro Tips

 Use natural peanut butter? Add 1-2 tbsp powdered sugar if too runny.
Make vegan – Swap honey for agave, use dairy-free chocolate.
Double the batch – They freeze well for up to 1 month!

Variations

 Double Chocolate – Add cocoa powder to the peanut butter mix.
Tropical Twist – Roll in shredded coconut after dipping.
Spicy Kick – Add a pinch of cayenne to the chocolate.
