- Using a cookie scoop or other spoon, form 20 balls with the peanut butter cereal mixture. I like using a medium cookie scoop and pressed them firmly into the scoop to make a mound shape before placing on a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
- Once all of the mounds are made, place in the refrigerator or freezer to firm up for about 30 minutes to an hour.
- When they're firm, melt the chocolate in the microwave or over the stove. If it seems too thick, add a teaspoon of cacao butter or coconut oil and whisk to combine.4 oz. dark chocolate
- Cover each mound with chocolate - you can do this by dipping each mound into the chocolate, or using a spoon to drizzle it over the top. Garnish with flaky sea salt if desired.1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- Refrigerate again to firm up the chocolate, and then they're ready to serve! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
