Can you make peanut butter balls without rice cereal?

Yes, you can. This is an alternative method to make peanut butter balls without rice cereal:

Peanut Butter Balls without Rice Cereal:

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

1 cup quick oats

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup cocoa powder

¼ cup dark chocolate chips

(Optional) Extra cocoa powder for coating

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, quick oats, and honey.

2. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and a dough-like consistency is achieved.

3. Add the cocoa powder and mix again to evenly distribute it throughout the dough.

4. Form the dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter, using your hands.

5. Place the chocolate chips on a plate or cutting board.

6. Gently press each peanut butter ball onto the chocolate chips, slightly flattening it, so the chocolate chips get embedded into the ball.

7. Transfer the peanut butter balls to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

8. Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

9. (Optional) If you want a thicker layer of chocolate coating, melt some extra dark chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler. Dip the peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate and allow the excess chocolate to drip off.

10. Place the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls back on the baking sheet and refrigerate again until the chocolate hardens.

11. Enjoy your homemade peanut butter balls without rice cereal!

These peanut butter balls are a satisfying and delicious treat, and without rice cereal, they still hold their shape well and have a delightful texture.
