Peanut Butter Balls With Rice Krispies

You’ll love these six ingredient Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies. Sweet, salty, creamy and crunchy, they’re a delicious no bake peanut butter truffle that anyone can make.

Buttery Peanut Butter Balls for the WIN 👊🏻

It appears to be peanut butter week here at Sweetest Menu. On Monday, I shared my new favourite Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies with you and now, these gorgeous Peanut Butter Balls filled with Rice Krispies.

Covered in chocolate, they’re buttery, sweet and just a little crunchy.

Last year, I shared my recipe for Peanut Butter Balls – and it turns out you LOVE them. So today I’m a sharing a new version of Peanut Butter Balls, this time with a handful of Rice Krispies added for good measure. And that little change, changes everything.

These Peanut Butter Balls are completely irresistible. They just about melt-in-your-mouth, but the rice cereal adds a little texture and crunch. And the milk and white chocolate shell just takes it over-the-top.

Nobody needs to know just how easy these truffles are to make. Honestly, they only take a few minutes to make and set. Plus you get to dip things in chocolate – one of my favourite things to do ever.

You only need 6 ingredients to make these truffles, which means they’re perfect for entertaining. Friends popping over? Party? Dinner? Picnic? BBQ? Whip out these Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies and you’ll be the most popular person in the room.

P.S. Did you know that Rice Krispies here in Australia are actually called Rice Bubbles?! Fun fact 😉

TIPS FOR MAKING TRUFFLES

• Choose good quality chocolate for dipping. I actually don’t use ‘melting chocolate’ for truffle dipping. I’ve found that it sets up too quickly and has the tendency to seize – plus it doesn’t taste as good. I prefer to use a regular block of chocolate that’s broken up into pieces and melted.
• I dipped these truffles in milk and white chocolate, but you can use whatever type of chocolate you prefer – milk, white and dark all work perfectly.
• If these truffle seems too soft to dip, it may be because of how soft your butter was or the type of peanut butter you used. I recommend using a full fat peanut butter like Kraft, Bega, Skippy or Jif (rather than a natural or healthy one). Regardless, you can place the truffles in the fridge to firm up before dipping. Sometimes I even put my truffles in the freezer before dipping to make it easier.
• Make sure your Rice Krispie are fresh! I always use a new box in my baking to make sure they are extra crisp and crunchy.
