Line a baking sheet, board, or plate with parchment paper.
Combine the melted salted butter and peanut butter using an electric mixer.
Stir in the Rice Krispies.
Add the powdered sugar and mix until everything is combined.
Portion the mixture with a cookie scoop, then roll into balls. Place the peanut butter Rice Krispie balls on the prepared board or sheet.
Chill the balls for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir and continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until smooth.
Dip the Rice Krispie peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate. Refrigerate until the chocolate coating is set, and you're done!

For a smooth, crack-free chocolate coating, keep the melted chocolate warm while you work. You can microwave the melted chocolate at 50% power for 15 seconds if it starts to cool. You can also thin it out with a bit of vegetable shortening so it coats the peanut butter Rice Krispie balls evenly.
Chill your Rice Krispie peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes, so they’ll be firm enough when dipped in warm chocolate. If you’re short on time, you can freeze them for 15 minutes.
To make buckeye balls with Rice Krispies, leave a bit of the peanut butter ball exposed when dipping them into chocolate!
