Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the base: Mix the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar: Gradually mix it in until you get a thick, slightly crumbly dough.
Add the crunch: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies.
Form the balls: Roll about 1 tbsp of mixture per ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (essential to make dipping easier).
Melt the chocolate: Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip: Use a fork to dip each ball into the melted chocolate, tapping off any excess.
Finish: Place back on parchment, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and let set at room temperature or chill for 15 minutes.

Double batch recommended: These disappear in a flash.
Customize: Try with white or dark chocolate, or roll in sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut.
Storage
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Freezer: Freeze up to 3 months, layering with parchment paper.
Serving: Pair with a cold glass of milk, a hot cup of coffee, or add them to a festive dessert board.
