Bom-Boms
Creamy, crunchy, and chocolatey, Bom-Boms are delightful peanut butter balls coated in melted chocolate, perfect for parties, quick treats, or satisfying a sweet craving.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together melted butter, crunchy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and Rice Krispies until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into small balls.
- Let the balls chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Dip each chilled ball into melted chocolate almond bark.
- Place the dipped balls on waxed paper and let them cool until the chocolate is set.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract to the mixture. If you prefer smoother chocolate, try using dark chocolate instead of almond bark. You can substitute almond bark with melting chocolate chips, though the texture may vary slightly. Make sure to roll the balls tightly to prevent them from falling apart during dipping.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Bom-Boms as a fun dessert at parties or gatherings. They pair beautifully with a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate. For a festive touch, consider arranging them on a platter alongside a slice of Quick And Easy Chocolate Cake or Fruit Pizza Dessert to create a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Bom-Boms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, keep them in the freezer, where they can last for up to three months. To reheat, simply let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, as they are best enjoyed cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy?
Yes, you can absolutely use creamy peanut butter if you prefer a smoother texture. Just keep in mind that the end result will have a different mouthfeel and may be slightly less crunchy. Adjust the amount of powdered sugar slightly if needed to maintain the right consistency.
How can I make these gluten-free?
To make Bom-Boms gluten-free, ensure that the Rice Krispies you use are certified gluten-free. Most brands now offer gluten-free options, so check the packaging. Additionally, make sure all other ingredients, such as the chocolate bark, are free of gluten.
Can I add other mix-ins to the recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to incorporate mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or dried fruit into the mixture for added texture and flavor. Just be mindful of how these additions may affect the overall consistency, and adjust the powdered sugar accordingly if needed.
