List of Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter – Adds a rich, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with chocolate.
• 300 grams of softened butter – Ensures a smooth and creamy texture in the treats.
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla powder – Infuses the treats with a subtle, aromatic flavor.

Preparation Instructions:

1. Mix the Base:
   • In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla powder, Rice Krispies, chopped nuts, and coconut flakes. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Form the Treats:
   • Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to set slightly, which makes it easier to handle. Then, roll the mixture into balls and refrigerate again for at least an hour to firm up.
3. Chocolate Coating:
   • Melt the chocolate chips and sweet chocolate together in a double boiler over low heat to ensure the chocolate stays smooth and creamy.
   • Dip each Rice Krispie ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before transferring to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Final Set:
   • Place the chocolate-coated treats in the refrigerator to set completely, ensuring a crisp chocolate shell on each treat.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy these decadent treats as a party snack or a special dessert. They’re perfect for sharing at school events, holidays, or paired with coffee for an adult twist on a nostalgic favorite.
