Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter Natural peanut butter for a less sweet option
  • 1/2 cup honey or light corn syrup Acts as a sweetener and binder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal Ensure certified gluten-free
For the Topping
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Can swap for dark or vegan chocolate
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Coconut oil can work for a dairy-free choice

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Muffin tin
  • microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • Spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of smooth peanut butter and 1/2 cup of honey over low heat, stirring until smooth and glossy for about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to enhance flavors.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, pour the peanut butter mixture over 4 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold until all cereal is coated.
  4. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and scoop the mixture into each, pressing down to form compact cups. This should take about 5 minutes.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  6. Spoon the melted chocolate mixture generously over each Rice Krispie cup and spread evenly if desired.
  7. Refrigerate the muffin tin for at least 30 minutes to allow chocolate to harden and cups to set.
