Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 cup crispy rice cereal
  • 1 ½ cups vegan white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar and crispy rice cereal to a large bowl and stir until the cereal is completely coated.

  • Use a small cookie scoop to portion the mixture into about 12 balls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  • Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.

  • Dip each frozen ball into the melted white chocolate with a fork or candy dipping tool, let the extra drip off and set it back on the tray.

  • Freeze for about 15 more minutes, until the coating sets. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • If the mixture is too soft to roll, add a little more cereal or powdered sugar, a spoonful at a time.
  • Any crispy white rice cereal works. For chocolate-coated balls, use semisweet vegan chocolate chips in place of the white chocolate. A spoonful of vegetable shortening or melted coconut oil makes the melted chocolate easier to work with.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
