Mix the peanut butter and sweetener.

Grab a medium bowl and stir your peanut butter with honey or maple syrup until smooth and glossy. It should look thick but scoopable, not stiff like cement.

Fold in the Rice Krispies.

Add the cereal gradually and gently fold it in. You want everything coated without crushing all the crunch. Be patient—this is not the moment to rage-stir.

Chill briefly if needed.

If the mixture feels too sticky, pop it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes. This makes rolling way less messy and saves your sanity.

Roll into balls.

Scoop small portions and roll them between your palms. Aim for bite-sized—about the size of a walnut. Too big and they get awkward. Nobody wants awkward dessert.

Set and enjoy.

Place the balls on a lined plate or tray and chill for another 15–20 minutes to firm up. Or don’t. They’re technically edible immediately, and I won’t judge.
