When I was looking through my archives, I was surprised that I hadn’t posted this easy recipe for crispy peanut butter balls. It is one I got in a home ec class back in middle school. They’ve been a family favorite for decades!

My teacher called them peanut butter yummies, but they are like a rice crispy treat with peanut butter. I’ll take these peanut butter balls over rice crispy treats any day!

Recipe for peanut butter candies with Rice Krispies

This recipe is really easy to throw together, and it’s perfect for summer because you don’t have to turn on the oven. So if your kids are begging for a treat this summer, try these out. Or even better, have the kids make them!

We like them just as they are, but you can also dip them into chocolate.

How to make Peanut Butter Balls with Rice Krispies

Ingredients:

  • corn syrup
  • powdered sugar (confectioner’s sugar)
  • peanut butter (we prefer crunchy peanut butter)
  • vanilla extract
  • crispy rice cereal

These peanut butter balls are SO easy to make, and they require no baking. Bring corn syrup and sugar to a boil, then add peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir in the Rice Krispies. 

After I stir everything together, I like to use this cookie scoop to arrange them on silicone baking mats or waxed paper lined baking sheets.

After they cool down a bit,I just roll them into one to two inch balls.. Simple, right? And they get gobbled up everywhere I take them!

FAQ About Rice Crispy Peanut Butter Candies:

Q: How do I store these peanut butter candies?
A: I put them in a ziplock bag or airtight container and store them at room temperature.

Q: How long will they last?
A: My family eats them fast enough that I haven’t put it to the test, but they will definitely last several days, maybe more. We do think they are best eaten fresh or after a day or two, but that is just a matter of preference. They get softer the longer you store them, and we like the crunch.

Q: What can I use in place of the corn syrup?
A: I have had readers use both honey and agave syrup with great results. I’ve tried honey, and they turned out a little sweet for me.

Q: Can I make bars instead of peanut butter balls?
A: Of course. Just press the hot mixture into a buttered 9×13″ pan, let them cool slightly, then cut them.

Q: I’m a chocoholic. How can I add chocolate to these peanut butter treats?
A: You can substitute Cocoa Krispies for the regular Rice Krispies. They are also fantastic dipped in melted chocolate.

    The first Christmas I made these, my nephew took one bite, grabbed the tin and hid it behind his back. His Sigma brother also loved them. When I suggested that I might dip them in chocolate, I was informed that each boy would need his own tin, which would mean making three batches – one for each brother and one for everyone else.

    Hi Kara
    First off you should NEVER publish recipes like this as now we are as addicted as a junky!! Ok so we’re on second batch in three days. What a perfect treat, in fact I thought they made a heck of fast breakfast. I mean think about it, you have peanut butter for protein, rice cereal which is good for ya and heck who doesn’t like a glue made of corn syrup and powdered sugar!! My only problem is as a diabetic I’m what the nutrition facts might be. Even though I am diabetic I’m not gonna stop eating them and they don’t seem to Jack my blood sugars to bad. Thank you ma’am for such a wonderfully delicious and simple treat. Tim

    My Aunt Mae made them with Chex cereal (which is gluten free) and I have been making them for probably 30+ years. They are yummy, but now I try not to eat or use corn syrup. You can make great popcorn balls if you make marshmallow treats, but use popcorn instead of rice Krispies.

    You should know that Rice Krispies are not gluten free. They contain malt. So you should either change your recipe to include a gluten free cereal or not advertise these as naturally gluten free. It May confuse people and accidentally give some people a bad belly ache.

      Sometimes when your cookies, candy or fudge gets a little too hard, you can put them in an airtight container with a piece of bread or a fresh lemon/orange peel or rind. This also works for brown sugar. Whenever my mom needed brown sugar and it was super hard, we just peeled an orange and left it in there a day or so.

    I have the same recipe except it uses brown sugar instead of powdered. It forms almost a caramel. I just guess at the amount of cereal – less and there is more caramel at the bottom, less means less caramel. Also I bring the mixture of corn syrup and brown sugar just to a boil, turn the burner off and then stir in the peanut butter. It helps the peanut butter melt easier and gives you a little longer to form the bars, cookies, balls, etc. that you want to make.

      I don’t recommend substituting marshmallows for the corn syrup. Since they are solid at room temperature, they will throw the recipe off and your peanut butter balls will be hard to bite into after they cool.

      They can definitely be made a few days ahead, but they don’t need to be frozen, just stored in an airtight container. I haven’t tried freezing them, but my guess is that it would make them a bit soggy.

    I made some “throw-together” krispie treat balls and gave some to my grandson(33 years ild) . He remembered me making something like it when he was in the third grade and calked me from his job. So, to find a recipe that coukd made in bulk, I checked out the internet. I found yours that are probably the same thing I made back then. I used honey instead of karo, but the results are the same.

      No, it’s powdered sugar just like I typed. It makes three dozen. I don’t like to double it unless I have someone to help me scoop the mixture onto waxed paper. Otherwise the mixture starts setting up before I can get it all out of the pan.

      I use granular sugar. But I also do not roll them into balls I make cookies

    These look awsome! What is the best way to store them? I want to add them to a cookie platter for a gift.

      I just store them at room temperature in an airtight container.

      Sorry you had trouble with them Brett. My guess is that you cooked the corn syrup and sugar a little too long. That would definitely make them more sticky. They should just be soft and chewy.

        Can you please tell me the best way to store these and how long are they good for. I’m trying to get a head start on my Christmas goodies. Thank you

          I just store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They are good for a few days. After 3-4 days they start to get a little soft, but they still taste fine.

    Anyone have a good substitution for the corn syrup??!!

      I’ve never tried it, but I bet that honey would work as a substitute.

      Maybe regulate syrup or honey. The maple syrup would give it a different flavor, but it may taste ok. I would divide the recipe into 1/4’s and try first before ruining a whole batch.

    Okay, great but have a idea for the holidays. Make candy balls but much smaller, then dip in melted chocolate and roll in finely chopped peanuts. No need to make tedious truffles. They would be gone in a flash!

    OMG! I have been looking for this recipe for decades! I also got this recipe from my home ec teacher in 1974, must have been part of their basic curriculum. Used to make it all the time and lost the recipe while moving. My five brothers and sisters used to finish off a whole batch in one day. Thank you for posting this.

      I am so glad that you finally found the recipe! I also have five siblings, and when I made it for them they would finish off an entire batch in a day as well. Now my kids love it just as much. πŸ™‚

    Have you any idea how much agave to replace for sugar. Thanks.

      Sorry Sharyn, I don’t know. I use agave in my bowl of morning oatmeal, but I’ve never used it as a substitute for sugar in a recipe.

      How about using Agave? It’s low glycemic and so much better for you. It’s worth a try!

      Yes the corn flake ones are great. However, I use regular granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar. That’s what my recipe called for

    I’ve tried a recipe similar to this. I, too, had forgotten how easy and good it was. I’ve never used powdered sugar, though. I think I need to give it a try ASAP.
