Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar Divided; 1/4 cup + 1/2 cup
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Optional, enhances flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Optional, balances sweetness

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Mixing Bowls (2)
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Shallow Dish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Melt chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted chocolate, peanut butter, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract (if using), and salt (if using) until completely smooth.
  3. Add cereal: Gently fold in the Rice Chex cereal until every piece is evenly coated.
  4. Chill: Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (optional) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  5. Roll into balls: Once chilled, break the mixture into small pieces and roll into 1-inch balls.
  6. Coat in powdered sugar: Place remaining powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle ball in the sugar until completely coated.
  7. Enjoy! Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips. You can also add chopped nuts or sprinkles to the truffles for extra texture and flavor. If the mixture is too sticky to roll, chill it for a little longer.
