Scale
Base
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tablespoon honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Topping
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners or spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt peanut butter mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the peanut butter, honey, and pinch of salt together, stirring until smooth.
- Combine with cereal: Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a medium bowl and pour the melted peanut butter mixture on top. Stir thoroughly to fully coat the cereal.
- Form cups: Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the coated cereal mixture and press firmly to pack it down tightly.
- Melt chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in short intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Top with chocolate: Spoon the melted chocolate over the tops of each peanut butter cereal cup evenly.
- Chill to set: Place the muffin tray in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to firm up completely.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cups from the liners and serve immediately. Enjoy your tasty chocolate peanut butter rice krispy cups!
Notes
- Use creamy or chunky peanut butter based on preference.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan version.
- Ensure the chocolate is fully set in the refrigerator before serving for best texture.
- For a gluten-free option, verify that Rice Krispies cereal is gluten-free, as some brands contain malt flavoring.
- Press the mixture firmly into the muffin cups to ensure they hold together well.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
