Ingredients
  

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for coating)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Use a spatula to mix the ingredients together until smooth and well-blended.

    Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the Rice Krispies cereal. Make sure to gently mix until all the cereal is coated and evenly distributed in the peanut butter mixture.

      Incorporate Sweetness: Sprinkle in the powdered sugar and mix until the mixture becomes sticky but can still be handled with your hands. You might want to use your hands for this part to ensure everything is well combined.

        Form the Balls: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is rolled into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

          Chill for Firmness: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.

            Optional Chocolate Coating: If desired, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined sheet.

              Add Crunch (Optional): Once the chocolate-coated balls are placed back on the parchment, sprinkle with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor if desired.

                Final Refrigeration: Return the tray to the fridge for another 15 minutes to let the chocolate set.

                  Serve and Enjoy! Once set, the Rice Krispie Peanut Butter Bliss Balls are ready to be served. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
