Ingredients
- 2 cups rice cereal
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Halloween-themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare your workspace for the treats.
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 30-45 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and easily stirrable.
- Add rice cereal to the warm peanut butter and honey mixture. Gently fold and stir until all cereal pieces are completely coated and well-distributed.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval to ensure smooth melting without burning.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, form the cereal mixture into round balls approximately 1-2 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle or dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring partial or complete coverage based on preference.
- Immediately sprinkle Halloween-themed decorative sprinkles over the chocolate-covered treats while the chocolate is still warm and soft.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set and the treats to firm up.
- Remove from refrigerator and serve. Store any remaining treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
