Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies Or Oats. No Bake

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup peanut butter, at room temp (I like smooth unsweetened nut butter)
• 1/3 cup coconut sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp chopped dark chocolate or a mix of dark chocolate and mini chocolate chips
• 1.5 cup rice krispies or chocolate rice krispies
• 2 tsp oil or maple syrup to help bind, optional, as needed

Steps

1. Process peanut butter, coconut sugar, vanilla and maple syrup in a food processor for a minute to mix the sugar.
2. Add chocolate, salt and 1 cup krispies and pulse to mix and break most of the cereal. Add the remaining rice krispies and pulse to mix and break half of them.
3. Shape with your hands or a scoop. Hands warm the nut butter and help it bind. With a scoop, add maple or oil if needed so the mixture sticks, since some nut butters are drier.
4. Shape, chill for a few minutes and serve. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to a month.
