Ingredients
Scale
main ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter (chunky preferred)
- 4 cups rice krispies cereal
sweeteners and binding agents:
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup powdered sugar
flavor enhancer:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a spacious saucepan, whisk corn syrup and powdered sugar over medium flame, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat immediately and incorporate peanut butter and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture transforms into a silky, homogeneous consistency.
- Gradually fold Rice Krispies cereal into the peanut butter blend, ensuring each crisp morsel becomes thoroughly enrobed with the sweet, nutty coating.
- Using a spoon, deposit generous dollops of the mixture onto silicone mats or waxed paper, allowing them to rest momentarily.
- While the mixture remains slightly warm, gently roll each dollop between your palms, crafting smooth, uniform spheres that showcase the perfect balance of crunch and creaminess.
- Allow the Rice Crispy Peanut Butter Balls to cool completely at room temperature, solidifying their shape and enhancing their delectable texture.
- Transfer the finished delicacies to an airtight container, where they will maintain their delightful crispness for up to seven days, ready to be enjoyed as a quick, indulgent treat.
Notes
- Perfectly blend corn syrup and powdered sugar over medium heat for a smooth, glossy base that ensures your balls hold together.
- Quickly remove from heat after boiling to prevent burning and maintain the perfect texture for mixing peanut butter and vanilla.
- Gently fold Rice Krispies into the warm mixture, ensuring every crisp gets completely coated for maximum flavor in each bite.
- Roll balls immediately while mixture is warm and pliable, using light hands to create uniform, bite-sized treats that won’t crumble.
- Store in cool, dry place in airtight container to keep these no-bake delights fresh and crunchy for up to one week.
- Choose natural or creamy peanut butter for consistent texture and rich, nutty flavor that complements the sweet corn syrup base.
