Raise the bar on your Rice Krispie treat game with these little chocolate balls of deliciousness!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons soft butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup Rice Krispies
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped fine
  • 1 cup coconut, shredded (I used unsweetened)
  • 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 square sweet chocolate


PREPARATION


  1. Mix everything together, refrigerate for a half hour or longer and then form into balls. Return to fridge and let chill at least an hour (longer would be best). Note: To make it easier to roll in chocolate, freeze for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Melt the following together in a double –boiler: one package chocolate chips, one square sweet chocolate. Keep on low so that chocolate remains soft.
  3. Drop balls into chocolate mixture one at a time using a fork to roll them so that the chocolate will cover. Let set on parchment paper in fridge. They freeze well.


Note: The balls can also refrigerated over night or may be frozen, and then dipped in chocolate.
