No additional preparation ingredients required
Instructions
- Gently melt peanut butter and honey in a saucepan over low temperature, stirring continuously until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Immediately remove the saucepan from heat and incorporate rice krispie cereal, ensuring each crisp morsel becomes thoroughly enveloped in the creamy blend.
- Lightly grease your palms to prevent sticking, then methodically shape the mixture into compact, uniform spheres approximately one inch in diameter.
- Arrange the freshly formed orbs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing sufficient spacing between each ball.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the peanut butter confections to solidify and chill for approximately 15-20 minutes until they reach a firm, delectable texture.
- Once set, retrieve the rice krispie balls and serve at your leisure, savoring the harmonious combination of sweet and nutty flavors.
Notes
- Use room temperature peanut butter for smoother mixing and easier blending with honey.
- Grease hands with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticky mixture from clinging while rolling balls.
- Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweet and nutty flavor profile of the rice krispie balls.
- For gluten-free option, choose certified gluten-free rice krispies cereal to make recipe suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
