Crunchy, chewy, and irresistibly rich—these no-bake treats combine the classic texture of Rice Krispies with a nutty coconut-pecan filling, then dip them in smooth chocolate for a decadent bite-sized dessert. With peanut butter, toasted coconut, and a double dose of chocolate, they’re like holiday magic on a spoon… but rolled into perfect little balls.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This isn’t just another Rice Krispie treat—it’s a festive upgrade to a childhood favorite. Inspired by holiday cookie trays and Southern candy traditions, this version swaps the marshmallow base for a denser, more flavorful mix of peanut butter, butter, and coconut. Chilled into firm balls and dipped in chocolate, they’re elegant enough for gifting yet simple enough for kids to help make.
Perfect for:
- Holiday baking and Christmas cookie platters
- Fans of Mounds bars, trail mix, or chocolate-covered treats
- Make-ahead desserts (they freeze beautifully!)
- Last-minute gifts wrapped in cellophane bags
🎄 "I made these for my neighbors," said one home cook. "They said it tasted like 'Christmas in a bite'!"
