### **Instructions:**
#### **1. Make the Base Mixture**
In a large bowl, mix together the Rice Krispies, peanut butter, honey (or corn syrup), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined and evenly coated.
#### **2. Roll Into Balls**
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls—about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
*Tip:* Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking!
#### **3. Chill**
Pop the tray into the fridge for 20–30 minutes. This helps them firm up and hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.
#### **4. Dip in Chocolate**
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each Rice Krispie ball into the chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated.
#### **5. Decorate (Optional)**
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with your choice of toppings: sprinkles, chopped nuts, coconut, or even a dash of sea salt.
#### **6. Set and Serve**
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or pop them back in the fridge for faster results. Once set, they’re ready to serve!
