Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Rice Krispies Balls are a fun spin on the classic Rice Krispies Treats. Instead of going for the traditional squares, this recipe transforms the marshmallow and cereal treats into bite-sized balls that are perfect for snacking. With the addition of chocolate chips and peanut butter, these balls are a little more indulgent than the original version, but are just as easy to make. Whip up a batch in no time to enjoy as a sweet treat or to share with friends and family.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, crumble the toffee bars into small pieces.
2.	Add the Rice Krispies and stir until the mixture is well combined.
3.	In a separate large microwave-safe bowl, heat the peanut butter and marshmallows on high for 1 minute. Stir well, then heat for an additional 30 seconds or until melted and smooth.
4.	Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispie mixture and stir until everything is well coated and combined.
5.	Mix in the miniature chocolate chips, but do not overmix.
6.	Coat your hands in canola oil and roll the mixture into small balls.
7.	Place the balls on wax paper to cool and harden before serving.
