Amazing Glob Stoppers
Chewy, chocolate-peanut butter rice crispy treats shaped into glob stoppers, perfect for a quick, indulgent snack that appeals to both kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave on low or in a double boiler.
- Add the peanut butter, Rice Krispies, and marshmallows to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture.
- Drop the mixture by teaspoonfuls into muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
- Refrigerate until firm and set.
- Enjoy as a delicious, chewy snack.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a smoother texture, ensure the white chocolate is fully melted before mixing in other ingredients. If you're looking for a nut-free option, substitute the crunchy peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. For added flavor, consider including a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract. These glob stoppers can be made ahead of time, making them a perfect treat for gatherings alongside other American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These glob stoppers make a delightful snack on their own but can also be served alongside a glass of milk or hot cocoa for a cozy treat. For a dessert spread, pair them with Perfect 'Fudgy' Brownies and Fern's Fabulous Fudge for a chocolate lover's dream. They also make great party favors when packaged in decorative bags.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover glob stoppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To enjoy them warm, simply microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften slightly. Avoid leaving them at room temperature for extended periods, as they can become too soft and lose their shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes, you can use dark chocolate for a richer flavor. Just keep in mind that dark chocolate has a different level of sweetness, so you might want to adjust the amount of peanut butter accordingly to balance the flavors.
What can I substitute for Rice Krispies?
If you don't have Rice Krispies, you can substitute with other crispy cereals like Corn Flakes or even crushed graham crackers for a different texture. Just be sure to adjust the amount slightly based on the consistency you prefer.
How can I make these gluten-free?
To make gluten-free glob stoppers, ensure that the Rice Krispies are labeled gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten. Additionally, check the white chocolate and peanut butter for any gluten-containing ingredients to keep the recipe safe for gluten-sensitive individuals.
