Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a stand mixer, beat together 1 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of peanut butter until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, mixing until consistent and lump-free to create a thick base.
  3. Gently fold in 3 cups of Cocoa Rice Krispies, ensuring they maintain their crunch.
  4. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls.
  5. Chill the rolled balls on a baking sheet for at least 1 hour or 20 minutes in the freezer.
  6. Melt 1.5 cups of chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
  7. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated and place back onto parchment paper to cool.
  8. Allow the balls to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before storing.
