Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (375g) creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (30g) crisp rice cereal
- 0.25 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp (14g) coconut oil
Instructions:
- Cream together softened butter and creamy peanut butter in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract until a stiff, play-dough-like dough forms. Fold in the crisp rice cereal by hand.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch rounds. Roll between palms until smooth and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to ensure structural integrity during dipping.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals. Use a fork to submerge each chilled ball into the chocolate, tap off excess, and return to the parchment paper.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for an additional 15 minutes to achieve the signature chocolate snap.
