Description
Creamy peanut butter truffles with crispy rice cereal, coated in a rich blend of semisweet chocolate and butterscotch—an easy no-bake treat perfect for parties or snacking.
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup butterscotch chips (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and butter until smooth.
- Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly combined.
- Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of butterscotch chips together using a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted coating, let the excess drip off, and return them to the tray.
- If desired, melt the extra 1/4 cup of butterscotch chips and drizzle over the coated truffles.
- Refrigerate the truffles for another 15–20 minutes to fully set.
Notes
Swap semisweet chips for dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
Sprinkle sea salt on top before the coating sets for a salty-sweet twist.
Mix in mini marshmallows or chopped pretzels for added texture.
Add festive sprinkles after dipping for a holiday version.
Use plant-based butter and dairy-free chips to make it dairy-free.
