Here’s a quick and easy recipe for 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls—a classic no-bake treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (100 g) powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups (135 g) crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
- 1 cup (175 g) chocolate chips or melting chocolate
Instructions
1. Mix the base
- In a large bowl, combine peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
2. Shape the balls
- Roll the mixture into small 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
3. Coat with chocolate
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
- Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place back on the parchment paper.
4. Chill
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
5. Serve
- Keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets.
- You can use mini chocolate chips or peanut butter chips for coating if you prefer.
- These can also be rolled in crushed nuts or sprinkles instead of chocolate.
If you want, I can also give a 2-step “microwave shortcut” version that’s even faster for last-minute treats.
- Do you want that version?
