Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Mixture
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1 cup puffed rice cereal
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Chocolate Coating
- 1 ½ cups vegan semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and puffed rice cereal until evenly mixed.
- Form Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or melon baller, scoop the mixture into small, evenly sized balls. Place them on a cookie tray lined with wax or parchment paper.
- Freeze Balls: Put the tray in the freezer for about 15 minutes, or until the peanut butter balls harden and are firm to the touch.
- Melt Chocolate: While the balls freeze, gently melt the vegan semisweet chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently to ensure smooth melting.
- Dip in Chocolate: Dip each frozen peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, then return them onto the wax paper-lined tray.
- Freeze Again: Freeze the chocolate-coated balls for an additional 15 minutes or until the chocolate has set completely.
- Store: Transfer the finished bon bons into an airtight container or resealable bag and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use creamy or chunky peanut butter according to your preference.
- Ensure the chocolate is fully melted but not overheated to prevent burning.
- These treats should be stored in the fridge to keep the chocolate coating firm.
- For extra crunch, you can substitute puffed rice cereal with gluten-free or other puffed cereals if desired.
- You can roll the peanut butter mixture in crushed nuts before freezing for added texture.
