Description

These Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bites are a no-bake, bite-sized treat that combines creamy peanut butter, crunchy cereal, and chunks of Reese’s candy. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or serving at parties, they’re quick, easy, and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
  • 1 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter cups (mini or regular)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions

1. Mix the Base Ingredients:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

2. Shape the Bites:

  1. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands.
  2. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.

3. Melt the Chocolate:

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler.

4. Coat the Bites:

  1. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  2. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Chill and Serve:

  1. Refrigerate the chocolate-coated bites for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  2. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Decorative Touch: Sprinkle crushed Reese’s Pieces or a pinch of sea salt on top of the bites before the chocolate sets.
  • Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Make It Your Own: Substitute the rice cereal with crushed graham crackers or add chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
