These festive treats are the ultimate holiday indulgence! Combining peanut butter, Rice Krispies, pecans, and coconut, all dipped in rich chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles, they’re as easy to make as they are delicious.
Ingredients
For the Balls:
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Rice Krispies
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup shredded coconut
For the Coating:
- 1 package chocolate chips
- 1 square sweet chocolate
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Peanut butter
- Softened butter
- Vanilla extract
- Rice Krispies
- Chopped pecans
- Shredded coconut
Mix until well combined, then refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 2: Form the Balls
- Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and shape it into small, bite-sized balls.
- For a festive touch, roll the balls in red or green sprinkles before chilling.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
- In a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water), melt the chocolate chips and the sweet chocolate square together over low heat.
- Stir constantly until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
Step 4: Coat the Balls
- Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, rolling it to coat completely.
- Gently lift the coated ball and let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the chocolate-coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5: Decorate and Chill
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with festive holiday decorations, such as red and green sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or edible glitter.
- Refrigerate the coated balls until the chocolate is fully set. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container.
Serving and Storage
- Serve these bites chilled or at room temperature.
- Store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Tips for Success
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure the Rice Krispies and shredded coconut are fresh for the best texture and flavor.
- Mess-Free Dipping: Use a fork or dipping tool for smoother chocolate coating.
- Customize the Toppings: Swap sprinkles for crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or mini marshmallows for variety.
