Description
These WW Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls are a quick, easy, and Weight Watchers-friendly dessert that perfectly combines a sweet chocolate flavor with a crispy texture.
INGREDIENTS. 1.8 ounces (225g) semi-sweet chocolate
2. ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3. 2 cups mini marshmallows:
4. 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
INSTRUCTIONS
- Melt the chocolate: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the semisweet chocolate over low-medium heat.Stir frequently to prevent the chocolate from burning. Melting the chocolate slowly ensures a smooth, glossy finish for your chocolate Rice Krispie balls.
- Add vanilla and marshmallows: Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the vanilla extract. Then, add the mini marshmallows and continue to stir untilthey’ve melted completely into the chocolate. The marshmallows will add a gooey texture, making these treats extra delicious.
- Incorporate the Rice Krispies: Remove the pot from the heat, and immediately fold in the Rice Krispie cereal. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure all the cereal is coated in the chocolate marshmallow mixture.
- Shape the mixture into balls: Using a spoon or your hands, shape the mixture into six even-sized balls. Press them firmly to ensure they hold their shape.
- Chill and set: Place the balls on a sheet of parchment paper and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes, or until they are fully set.

Note
When I first made these WW Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls, I honestly wasn’t sure what my family would think. My husband is usually the toughest critic when it comes to healthier desserts, and my kids? Well, they’re always eyeing the sugary stuff But let me tell you, the reaction was priceless. My husband had three before I even mentioned they were Weight Watchers-friendly-he had no idea! As for the kids, they loved how gooey and chocolaty they were.Safe to say, this recipe is now a staple in our house, and no one’s missing the extra calories!
