Ingredients
- 2 cups crunchy peanut butter we used Jif
- ½ cup butter at room temperature
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups crisp rice cereal we used Rice Krispies
- 12 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers we used Ghirardelli
- Flaky sea salt we used Maldon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened butter. Add kosher salt and vanilla and mix to combine.
- Add powdered sugar a little at a time, mixing completely with the hand mixer after each addition.
- Add the crisp rice cereal and use your clean hands to blend it completely into the peanut butter mixture.
- Use a mini cookie scoop to portion the peanut butter candy mixture into individual servings. Roll the candies between your hands to form smooth peanut butter balls. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Melt the dark chocolate wafers according to package directions.
- Use dipping tools to coat the peanut butter balls with dark chocolate, shaking off the excess. Transfer to the parchment lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt.
- Allow the chocolate to harden before touching. Store in an airtight container.
