Instructions

Step 1

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine peanut butter and butter. Slowly add confectioner's sugar and then Rice Krispies. Mixing just until combined.

Step 2

Scoop a full tablespoon. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.

Step 3

Place in freezer for at least 15 minutes to prevent misshaped balls.

Step 4

When ready to dip balls, prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave on 50% power level. Start with 1 minute, stir the chips. Repeat on 50% power level, stirring every 20 seconds, until smooth.

Step 5

Dip balls in melted chocolate and transfer to lined baking sheet. Immediately add sprinkles if desired. Once all the balls are covered in chocolate, place in fridge to firm up. Store in an air tight container in the fridge or at room temperature.
