Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch of salt
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Muffin Pan: Line a muffin pan with paper liners and lightly spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
- Melt Peanut Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.
- Combine with Cereal: Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the cereal and stir until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
- Form the Cups: Spoon the cereal mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Press the mixture firmly into each cup to ensure they hold together.
- Add Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Spoon the melted chocolate over the top of each peanut butter-filled cup, spreading it evenly.
- Set the Cups: Place the muffin pan in the refrigerator and allow the cups to chill until the chocolate is firm and the peanut butter mixture has set, approximately 1 hour.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cups from the muffin pan and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a different flavor, you can substitute the peanut butter with almond or cashew butter.
- To make the chocolate topping smoother, consider adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate chips before melting.
- These treats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for longer storage.
