1/2 cup Honey – Natural sweetness plus stickiness to hold the balls together.

1 1/2 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats – Hearty structure and chew.

1/2 cup Shredded Coconut – Adds softness and subtle coconut flavor.

How to Make Crispy Peanut Butter Snack Balls

In a large bowl, mix 3/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy), 1/4 cup coconut oil, and 1/2 cup honey together. Set aside.

Gently pulse 1 1/2 cups rolled oats and 1/2 cup shredded coconut in a food processor. Pour into the bowl.

Mix in 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal, 1/4 cup chia seeds, and 1/2 cup mini-chocolate chips until well combined.

Scoop 1 1/2 tbsp size balls with a cookie scoop and roll between the palms of your hands to shape into balls.

Chill in the refrigerator until firm.

Use Crunchy Peanut Butter for Extra Texture – It doubles the crisp factor.

Chill the Mixture Before Rolling – Even 10-15 minutes firms it up and makes perfectly round balls with no sticking.

Press the Mix Firmly When Shaping – This helps the balls hold together without crumbling.

Use a Cookie Scoop for Even Sizing – It keeps them uniform.

Freeze for Long Term Meal Prep – They thaw quickly and keep their texture beautifully.
