Rice, crispy, protein balls
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ¾ cup crispy rice cereal
- 1 tsp honey or pure maple syrup
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
- Combine peanut butter (I used creamy), cereal, and sweetener (I used maple syrup), in a medium bowl. Stir gently not to crush the cereal too much.
- Roll the mixture into 12 balls, or use a cookie scoop for more precise portions and less perfectly round balls.
- Place the peanut butter balls with rice krispies on the prepared baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Working quickly, roll the chilled balls in the melted chocolate (I melted my chocolate chips at ½ power in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each until smooth).
- Return the chocolate dipped peanut butter balls to the freezer until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
