Christmas Drops

Melt butter and peanut butter together in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth and combined.

Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Fold in Rice Krispies gently until evenly coated and distributed throughout the mixture.

Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Melt almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth.

Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each peanut butter drop into the melted almond bark, coating all sides evenly.

Return the coated drops to the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the almond bark is firm.
