Ingredients for Peanut Butter And Chocolate Chip Rice Krispies Balls

  • Chocolate Covered English Toffee Bars
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • Chunky Peanut Butter
  • Marshmallows
  • Miniature Semisweet Chocolate Chips
  • Canola Oil

How to Make Peanut Butter And Chocolate Chip Rice Krispies Balls

  1. Unwrap Heath bars and finely crush them using a rolling pin or food processor. Aim for small, roughly 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside.
  2. Measure 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
  3. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 10 oz (about 2 cups) mini marshmallows.
  4. Microwave on high for 45 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes total.
  5. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  6. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and the crushed Heath bars.
  7. Lightly grease your hands with cooking oil or butter. Scoop out approximately 1/8 cup of the mixture for each treat and roll into golf ball-sized spheres. You should get about 16 treats.
  8. Place the treats on wax paper to cool completely before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
