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
- 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.
- Add crispy rice cereal to the peanut butter mixture. Stir gently until all the cereal is evenly coated.
- 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.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- 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.
- Transfer the chocolate-coated goof-balls back to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining goof-balls.
- Refrigerate the goof-balls for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.
- Once the chocolate is completely set, dust the goof-balls with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious goof-balls!
