Ingredients
  

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 cup creamy peanut butter

½ cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup powdered sugar

½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

½ cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the Rice Krispies cereal, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. If using, also add the mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts/seeds at this stage for added texture and flavor.

        Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until the Rice Krispies are well-coated and the mixture holds together.

          Shape the Balls: Using your hands, take a small amount (about 2 tablespoons) of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the formed ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until the mixture is used up.

            Chill: Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

              Store and Serve: After chilling, serve immediately or store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
