1 cup creamy peanut butter a luscious base that brings moisture and flavor
4 tablespoons unsalted butter enhances the creaminess; use unsalted for better control over sweetness
2 cups powdered sugar adds sweetness and helps bind the mixture; sift for a smoother texture
1 teaspoon vanilla extract balances the flavors perfectly and elevates the treats
1.5 cups Rice Krispies cereal the secret to that signature crunch; ensure they're fresh

8-10 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips melt beautifully and provide a rich shell
1-2 teaspoons vegetable oil optional for thinning the chocolate for easier dipping

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Blend until smooth.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix thoroughly for an additional minute.
Sift in 2 cups of powdered sugar gradually, stirring continuously for about 3-4 minutes until thick and creamy.
Gently fold in 1.5 cups of Rice Krispies cereal without crushing them.
Using a small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into 1-inch balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to set.
Melt 8-10 ounces of chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave, adding 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable oil if needed.
Dip each chilled ball in the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Let the coated balls rest at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate is fully set, about 15-30 minutes.
