- In a large mixing bowl, melt the candy corn in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Add the peanut butter to the melted candy corn and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill the balls while you prepare the chocolate coating.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
