Description

Indulge in these delightful Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Cupsโ€”a no-bake treat that combines creamy peanut butter, sweet honey, crispy rice cereal, and a rich chocolate topping. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or sharing with friends and family.


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

  1. Prepare the Muffin Pan:ย Line a muffin pan with paper liners and lightly spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Melt Peanut Butter Mixture:ย 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.
  3. Combine with Cereal:ย 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.
  4. Form the Cups:ย 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.
  5. Add Chocolate Topping:ย 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.
  6. Set the Cups:ย 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.
  7. Serve:ย 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.
