Ingredients
Peanut Butter Mixture
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 6 tbsp honey
- 1 pinch salt
Main
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Chocolate Topping
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Muffin Pan: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners or spray each cup thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt Peanut Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine with Cereal: Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into a medium-sized bowl. Add the warm peanut butter mixture on top and stir gently but thoroughly to coat every piece of cereal.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the coated cereal mixture into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Press firmly to compact the mixture into cup shapes.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Add Chocolate Topping: Spoon the melted chocolate over the packed cereal cups evenly to cover the tops.
- Chill to Set: Place the muffin tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm and set.
- Serve: Once the chocolate topping is firm, remove from the refrigerator, and enjoy your homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Cups.
Notes
- You can use creamy or chunky peanut butter depending on your texture preference.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
- Ensure the chocolate is completely melted and smooth for easy spreading.
- Pressing the mixture firmly helps the cups hold together well.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
