Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, or until mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add crispy rice cereal to the peanut butter mixture. Stir gently until all the cereal is evenly coated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  5. Dip each goof-ball into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it completely. Use a fork to lift the goof-ball out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
  6. Transfer the chocolate-coated goof-balls back to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining goof-balls.
  7. Refrigerate the goof-balls for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.
  8. Once the chocolate is completely set, dust the goof-balls with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
  9. Serve and enjoy your delicious goof-balls!
