Sinful Reeses chocolate peanut butter crunch bites deliver pure indulgence with crunchy texture and irresistible flavor combinations. Chocolate and peanut butter lovers will savor these quick, no-bake treats perfect for satisfying sweet cravings instantly.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
  • 1 cup chopped Reeses Peanut Butter cups (mini or regular)

Binding and Sweetening Ingredients:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Coating Ingredients:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Craft a luscious blend by whisking creamy peanut butter with powdered sugar until achieving a silky, uniform consistency in a spacious mixing vessel.
  2. Gently fold crispy Rice Krispies or cornflakes into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring each cereal morsel receives an even, delectable coating.
  3. Utilizing a spoon, sculpt the peanut butter-cereal fusion into compact, bite-sized spheres approximately one inch in diameter, positioning each delicate orb onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
  4. Prepare the chocolate coating by melting semisweet chocolate chips with vegetable or coconut oil in a heat-resistant bowl, employing brief microwave intervals and stirring periodically until achieving a smooth, glossy texture.
  5. Immerse each peanut butter crunch sphere completely into the molten chocolate, guaranteeing thorough coverage, then carefully return to the parchment-lined surface.
  6. Allow the chocolate-enrobed bites to solidify at ambient temperature for roughly 20 minutes, or expedite the process by placing them in the refrigerator until the chocolate develops a firm, lustrous shell.

Notes

  • Swap regular peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free alternative that maintains the creamy texture and rich flavor.
  • Reduce powdered sugar or use a sugar substitute like stevia for a lower-sugar version that still delivers delicious taste and satisfying crunch.
  • Experiment with dark chocolate or white chocolate coating to create different flavor profiles and add variety to the classic recipe.
  • Sprinkle sea salt or crushed nuts on top of the chocolate coating for an extra layer of texture and gourmet touch that elevates the basic recipe.
