Description
A delightful and festive treat that combines chocolate, peanut butter, and crispy rice cereal, adorned with holiday sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet, milk, or dark)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

- Serve and enjoy: You can serve it directly or package it in festive containers for gifting.
Notes
Ensure chocolate is melted gently to prevent bitterness and use enough powdered sugar for a proper coating.
