Ingredients

½ cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup shredded coconut
1 bag chocolate chips
1 square sweet chocolate

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mixture

In a mixing bowl, blend together the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold in the Rice Krispies, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut.
Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly combined.

2. Shape the Balls

Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls.
Place them on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

3. Melt the Chocolate

Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and sweet chocolate together.
Keep the heat low to ensure the chocolate remains smooth and workable.

4. Coat the Balls

Dip each chilled Rice Krispie ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to fully coat each one.
Place the coated balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.

5. Chill and Set

Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and let the chocolate harden, about 1 hour.
For longer storage, these treats can be frozen before or after coating.
