Ingredients

  1. 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  2. 1 cup powdered sugar
  3. 2 Tbsp. butter
  4. 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  5. 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

  3. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Once firm, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should end up with around 20-25 balls.
  5. Melt the semisweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in separate bowls in the microwave or over a double boiler.

  7. Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
  9. If desired, drizzle with additional melted butterscotch or chocolate.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Tips

  • Make sure to chill the peanut butter mixture to help it hold its shape.
  • If the chocolate or butterscotch becomes too thick, reheat in short intervals until smooth.
  • Experiment with different types of chocolate or add-ins, like nuts or sprinkles, to create unique flavor combinations.
