K1MB3RL3Y88 my friend makes these every year around Christmas and gives some to me and my sister and the rest of our friends. I just now remembered these and I want them. I'm going to make them this weekend (hopefully).
In Ohio we have things like this called Buckeyes.... They look like a buckeye and are peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla... roll them in balls, dip in melted chocolate, cover all of it except a tiny cap part (so it looks like a buckeye)...I make about 300-400 every Christmas season...., but I cover the whole thing then sprinkle with different color sprinkles... Amazing !!!
I had seen this video over a year or two ago and I had been dying to try it and I finally did!!!! They taste so good and the crunchiness from the rice crispy made it amazing!!
If I made those, I'd eat the whole cookie sheet worth in about 2 days. I have no will power where chocolate and peanut butter are concerned. So if I do make them, it would have to be on an occasion where I'd be bringing a dessert to some function. Laura couldn't wait to pop that in her mouth! If I were that camera guy, I'd be grabbing!
Girl, #thestruggleisreal with chocolate & pb. I was shook when she said you could pull off the uneven chocolate bits. My thought was "Um, no wayyy am I throwing them away, it goes in Mommas pile"😂😂😂😋
I can"t wait to make these with my ten year old son! he loves cooking with me in the kitchen and peanut butter and chocolate are right up his alley. Thanks so much for sharing this one, Laura!
I just made Laura's recipe and it's as delicious as it looks...I didn't have smooth peanut butter just crunchy and added that instead, which I think turned out even better! And for anybody that makes this it still tastes great with less sugar
My mother made these every year at Christmas time. The winter weather in Arkansas allowed her to store them in a candy tin box and place them outside the kitchen door on top of a second refrigerator we had on the patio . . . that is until the raccoons figured out how to pry the top off and they enjoyed them too. Thanks for bringing back the memories. I think it's time to start a new tradition in April!
Im from ohio and our buckeyes dont have rice crispies... Oh noooooo just pb, butter and confectioners sugar. ....and it has to show some of the pb filling to look like a buckeye.
Or you can take a can of vanilla icing, one small jar of peanut butter, and your butter, melt it down and then stir in your crispys!I use my fondue thingy and the forks, they work great, and you can light the candles as needed! LOVE
Hi Laura!, In the past, I've added about 1/4 cup of milk powder, it seems to hold it together a bit more. I am making these tomorrow, using your recipe just to see if yours is better! Yum! Either way, thank you!
Laura, I never comment on any of your videos but I've been following all of your channels for a while now. I love you and Joe!!! I look forward to all of your weekly uploads. Many of your recipes have become go to's and favorites for my husband and I. I've been married for a year so cooking is somewhat newer to me. I've learned so much from you and have gained a new passion for cooking because of you. I've also gotten into makeup more because of your beauty channel. ;) Just wanted to share some love and thank you for sharing your life and passions with us all!
Great recipe! The only change I made is using milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate (just personal preference) otherwise these were incredible!! :-)
our family made these all the time when i was growing up for special occasions, for those that don't like or have rice cereal, you can also use oatmeal (not cooked) - its great with peanut butter and chocolate candies :)
I just made these and they are delicious!!! I did not have any shortening so I substituted coconut oil. They turned out fantastic. Thank you for this recipe.
I have a similar recipe that my grandma used to make every year for Christmas, except ours didn't have rice cereal, they had peanut butter, powder sugar, butter and a milk chocolate coating...these look much easier to handle though and the crunch would be a nice addition. Definitely going try these. These also kind of remind me of puppy chow-aka "the devil" lol. Chex cereal with a peanut butter-milk chocolate coating and dusted with powder sugar...so good! Thank you as always for sharing, I truly enjoy all your channels. Keep up the fantastic work.
I always chill after mixing together. It makes it easier to make balls with your hands. Then chill again before dipping in chocolate. Then I place on a chilled cookie sheet, and alternate going back into the freezer, and making more balls until done.
Just made these tonight and they are SO GOOD!! So easy I could make them with my 3 year old son! My only concern is that they won't last until tomorrow, everyone loves them!
"This ain't no Laura in The Chocolate Factory" and is exactly why I love your channel Laura - all of your recipes came from a real kitchen! Love this recipe for sure!!
meri kelly I was looking for the recipe on her site as well and can't find it. Hopefully it's just because we are too quick and they just haven't added it to the site yet. :)
KELLOGG'S "Brown Rice Crispies" cereal, is the tastiest, crispiest (most hardy) rice crisp cereal to use for this kind of recipe. (Not to mention, cereal w/milk in a bowl for breakfast.....or just dry, out of the box, so tasty)!
I made some for Christmas for my family. We don't have compound chocolate that I know of in Sweden so I had to temper the chocolate. I prefer the crack that tempered chocolate gives. These are so much better than Reese's cup, which I find to be way too sweet.
I LOVE me some Laura! She said " this ain't no Laura in the Chocolate factory. This is Laura in the kitchen, so this food will look like it's been made in this kitchen!" LOL She's so cute and funny!
Laura, u inspire me so much, I have the same love for food as you do, I too eat, sleep and breathe food! Everything you make is easy to recreate and even better to enjoy. Lots of love from Ireland
Hi Laura, I just watched the recipe for the chocolate peanut butter balls , but I didn’t see the amount of the actual ingredients. I love to make them, thank us, Soula
Sitting here on a diet, eating a salad....NEEDING these chocolate peanut balls!!!!

Sprinkles on Buckeyes? Sacrilege!
LOL exactly what I was thinking!
I think buckeyes are where the idea for 3 and 4 ingredient peanut butter cookies came from
STOP MAKING MEH HUNGRY! lol
Yes Southern michigan here..we call them buckeyes. :)
When she rolled those peanut butter balls in that melted chocolate, it brought a tear to my eye
Can NOT resist watching any Laura Vitale video. Her meatball recipe tastes just like the old country cooks of my grandma's generation.
Good to know Laura is young, and we will have the benefit of her talent for many more years.
Eun Jun Wang I also want to know why. Still waiting for response...
Loved watching her and her enthusiasm. She should have her own show on PBS. Shes definitely got what it takes!
I love how enthusiastic Laura is about every recipe.
Lisa Doherty b(
You had me at CHOCOLATE and PEANUT BUTTER... I will definitely be trying this one out.
***** Yes, all her recipes are listed out at www.laurainthekitchen.com. You can search for it or look in the recent recipes - it will be near the top.

Rosie, I love your recipies :)

My 2 1/2 year old daughter was watching this with me, and when you were coating the peanut butter balls in chocolate she said "mama, I hungry" lol.
Violet Dalilah So darling to picture happening!!! 😘
Awww... And now she's almost 7! Time flies. Bless her heart
You are so real and that's why I ❤️U ... Can't wait to try these for our next get together!!
I made these yesterday and they turned out AMAZING!!! I love them! They're not too sweet and it a little crunchy but creamy, it's just so delicious
I can"t wait to make these with my ten year old son! he loves cooking with me in the kitchen and peanut butter and chocolate are right up his alley. Thanks so much for sharing this one, Laura!
Lol "This ain't no Laura in the Chocolate Factory!"😂💕
It's easier to mix sugar with melted peanut butter first, and then add rice cereals..
Exactly. She should have added the powdered sugar to the pot of melted ingredients then stirred in the cereal.
Thank you for the tip! Mine came out a bit wonky.
I was thinking the same thing.
Thanks for the tip! I’m getting ready to make these for Xmas and I’m doing a big batch, so I’m glad I read that!! 👍🎄🥰
I just made Laura's recipe and it's as delicious as it looks...I didn't have smooth peanut butter just crunchy and added that instead, which I think turned out even better! And for anybody that makes this it still tastes great with less sugar
"This ain't no Laura in the Chocolate Factory." best line ever
These look so good! it's a shame I have exams right now otherwise I would totally make these!
Wish you good luck :)
No Name Thank you!
same!(: Good Luck!!
ILoveFood thanks and you too! =]
tubaforeva thank you!

THIS AIN'T NO LAURA IN THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY! Much love 💜❤️
You can do no wrong gurl. This looks amazing! I bloody love peanut butter!
"This ain't no Laura in the chocolate factory!"
Laura I swear you crack me up.
Your recipes are so fun to make. I get so many compliments when I bring stuff I've made from your channel to my family functions. Thank you, Laura!
My grandma just flew into Seattle to visit TODAY from Kentucky with a box of these! How funny!
My mom is from Ohio where these are called Buckeyes! We make them EVERY Christmas!!!! 😍😍😍
Im from ohio and our buckeyes dont have rice crispies... Oh noooooo just pb, butter and confectioners sugar. ....and it has to show some of the pb filling to look like a buckeye.
YES!! I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEBODY FROM OHIO TO SAY IT!! I was like buuuuuckeyeeeeees!!!!!
O-H!
I really want to make these! Thank you, Laura!
My opinion is that laura is one of the best cookers I love watching people cook but mostly laura (ur the best )♡
Or you can take a can of vanilla icing, one small jar of peanut butter, and your butter, melt it down and then stir in your crispys!I use my fondue thingy and the forks, they work great, and you can light the candles as needed! LOVE
Totally off topic but OMG your makeup is AMAZING!!!
Im laughing so hard! "Look! This ain't no Laura in the chocolate factory!".. Love your videos Laura! Keep being you!
I love your sense of humor, would be great if you show us how to make caramel slice. God bless you xx
Love the idea of melting the peanut butter 🥜 in a pan.
Thank you Tracey
"this ain't no laura in the chocolate factory, this is laura in the kitchen" i laughed so hard 😂😂😂😂
Goodness gracious. Loving these balls of heaven so much!
I'll be making these this week for Christmas but two versions, regular and a second batch with
Bailey's added to the chocolate coating! Yum!
Hi Laura!,
In the past, I've added about 1/4 cup of milk powder, it seems to hold it together a bit more.
I am making these tomorrow, using your recipe just to see if yours is better!
Yum! Either way, thank you!
Laura how do u stay fit with all this food u make
Push ups, sit-ups, and plenty of juice.
I love when you say a little bit but then its many .. Lol just love your attitude laura .. Keep it up and goodluck to you

"This ain't no Laura in the chocolate factory..." 😂😂😂
Oh yes, they look amazing. I love peanut butter and chocolate together

I'm trying to lose weight i dont know what I'm doing here 😭😭
I know, I'm like I can't make these, I'll eat them.
Hehe
It's an apocalypse anyway, eat and drink!
Nut butter is good for weight loss!
Me too! I wanna cry
I'm drooling right now, literally.
You are adorable!! I love how excited you are about food and cooking. This was my first video. Looking forward to more. Thank you!
I love this recipe so much!!
"Laura in the chocolate factory" im laughing omg lol

"This aint Laura in the factory" had me laughing XD
You had me at peanut butter.
I always chill after mixing together. It makes it easier to make balls with your hands. Then chill again before dipping in chocolate. Then I place on a chilled cookie sheet, and alternate going back into the freezer, and making more balls until done.
I've try, and it work. They're so easy to make, so light and moist, and it has a surprise center. Thank you so much!
Oh my, I'd have to make these as gifts or I'd eat them all! 😅
These are called buck eyes in Kentucky anywhere else?
Yep :) I'm from Nebraska and some people call them that.
I've heard that here in Illinois, too.
In Ohio too! Love Buckeyes!
Narwhal power yeah they are real popular here in kentucky
Taylor Williams no rice krispies in buckeyes
My grandmother has been making these every Thanksgiving and Christmas for as long as I can remember. At least 40 years now.
Laura you are so funny!!! You said "Listen, this ain't no laurain the chocolate factory!" Lmaooo I love ittttt 😂😂😂
Why not microwave the peanut butter?
switching that peanut butter for nutella
That is a good idea. I don't care for peanut butter that much
Josette Fleming yea me too
Daniella Lu I cant stand the taste of Peanuts, however nutella was a good idea xD
Daniella Lu I was thinking the same exact thing!!
It will be double chocolate and that sounds deliCIOUS!
Laura Laura Laura. You are the queen. Every time I see your videos I always say outloud "omg it's Laura the queen" I love all of your videos
I made these for a birthday party and it was a hit, every one loved them! Thank you for sharing your recipe, Laura !
Can I say three words?
I love you.
mora14 YOU SAID EIGHT WORDS NOT THREE
yummy l just subbed and can't wait to make these!
Just made these tonight and they are SO GOOD!! So easy I could make them with my 3 year old son! My only concern is that they won't last until tomorrow, everyone loves them!
I have a Rival brand electric fondue pot that is perfect for dipping candy in. Also, I prefer them without the rice crispies.
She has a melt chocolate setting on her microwave! !
Harpreet kaur I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that!
I was thinking the same thing! Haha
Laura can i use nutella instead of peanut butter? None in my family likes peanut butter. Everyone in my family likes nutella???? Can i?
Go for it :)
Yay :)
I think Nutella is too heavy. Like the taste and the calories comparing to Peanut butter.. Don't use a lot!
Zyrex i won't recommend it actually... coz the outsides are already coated in chocolate but hey, go for what you want!
I never knew hazelnut butter was a thing... I NEED IT NOW :D
The Rice Krispies are on my shopping list already....can't wait. Yum Yum Yum.....
I love these. My Grandsons loved them.
Thank you Tracey
Another way to name these are truffles
The Thunder Squad
can you make some chicken tortilla soup?! xD
She has :)
Episode 547
"This ain't no Laura in The Chocolate Factory" and is exactly why I love your channel Laura - all of your recipes came from a real kitchen! Love this recipe for sure!!
Made these for someone's birthday. They were amazing! Thanks, Laura for another fabulous recipe!
Where do I find the measurements they're not on the website
meri kelly I was looking for the recipe on her site as well and can't find it. Hopefully it's just because we are too quick and they just haven't added it to the site yet. :)
It can take a while.
It can take up to 48 hours for her website to have the recipe up(:
Yep, I saw that after the fact. lol. I don't know how I missed it. It's up now though. Saw her post on my facebook feed.
Rebecca Bucklin oh alright👐
Give me pleeeaassseee
I have to make these! My Aunt use to make something similar every Christmas. They are too good to only have once a year. Thank you!
I use wax instead of shortening and the balls end up looking so shiny and perfect :) its nice to see other variations of this delicious recipe!
Is there any other substitutions for peanut butter? I'm allergic 😵
Jing yi Pan nutella
Almond butter
Thanks guys! Really appreciate it.
No nutella has nuts , unless you're specifically allergic to peanuts not hazelnuts
i feel you bro, i feel you
can I make this with nougat or something else like that, because I HATE the taste of Peanuts :s
Madelaine Thomsen maybe almond butter
Cookie butter maybe?
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAZELNUT NOUGAT💖 you'll fall in love
erincarter94 OH MY LUCIFER YES! :O
Lol^^^
merci laura

You haven't said exactly how much of each ingredient to put into this recipe.
Laura you're so beautiful, I can't even! Greetings from Germany ♥ :)!
These are so yummy 🤤 I need to make a double or triple batch for the holidays. I decreased the sugar a bit and still were delicious.
How much did you decrease? I try to use as little sugar as possible but still works for recipe.
The ending was flawless
My God. The woman has Liz Taylot's eyes.
Was there something she was cooking here??
Dude... Just put them in the freezer and itll go much faster
Youre a girl after my own❤The faster theyre done, the faster I can eat them...I mean package them up for gifts😬
I never wanted chocolate for breakfast until I watched this! Yummy!
Laura I love your recipes and your videos. I love how natural you are!!
You should be telling us the measurements of each ingredients. Other wise this recipes pointless.
I agree what are the measurements looks good but no idea as to how much ingredients to use
I made some for Christmas for my family. We don't have compound chocolate that I know of in Sweden so I had to temper the chocolate. I prefer the crack that tempered chocolate gives. These are so much better than Reese's cup, which I find to be way too sweet.

Thank you Laura!! Love to watch you do your magic!!!
My heavens, Laura. You are stunning. I have never melted the peanut butter when making them. I'll give that a try.
Hi Laura, I just watched the recipe for the chocolate peanut butter balls , but I didn’t see the amount of the actual ingredients. I love to make them, thank us, Soula
