Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies

Ingredients :

1 cup creamy peanut butter (don’t use natural)
¼ cup butter , softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
2 cups Rice Krispies , more if desired
10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate melting wafers , about 1 1/2 cups
1 teaspoon coconut oil , or vegetable shortening
Flake sea salt

Instructions :

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Mix together peanut butter, butter, and vanilla in a medium-size bowl with an electric mixer. Gradually add in powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
Add the Rice Krispies and mix until combined. Add 1/2 cup more if desired.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet. I like to use a small cookie scoop and then roll them in my hands. Place on baking sheet and then freeze for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, melt chocolate melting wafers with coconut oil in the microwave for 60 seconds or in a double broiler. Stir until melted.
Remove the balls from the freezer and dip them one by one in the chocolate. Make sure they are evenly coated. I like to use a fork to dip them in and then tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
Place the balls back on the parchment paper. Top with sea salt, or other toppings if desired. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow to harden. Drizzle with remainder of the chocolate and top with flake sea salt, if desired
