Ingredients

• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.33 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1.5 cups Crisped rice cereal
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

2. Gradually fold in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated into the mixture.

Step 3

3. Gently add the crisped rice cereal and mix carefully to avoid crushing the cereal. Ensure all cereal is evenly coated in the peanut butter mixture.

Step 4

4. Scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5

5. Once all balls are formed, refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow them to firm up.

Step 6

6. While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

Step 7

7. Remove the goof balls from the fridge. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined sheet.

Step 8

8. If desired, sprinkle the chocolate-coated balls with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

Step 9

9. Let the candy cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for another 15 minutes to fully set the chocolate.

Step 10

10. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
