Prepare the Filling:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt peanut butter and butter together until smooth.

• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and powdered sugar until fully combined.

• Gently fold in Rice Krispies, being careful not to crush them.

Form the Balls:

• Scoop out mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.

• Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm.

Melt the Chocolate:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Dip the Balls:

• Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely.

• Return to the baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until chocolate is set.

Serve or Store:

• Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
