Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Topping
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Muffin 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 a pinch of salt together until smooth.
- Combine with Cereal. Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a medium bowl, then pour the melted peanut butter mixture over it. Stir well to fully coat the cereal.
- Fill Muffin Cups. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Press firmly to pack the mixture down evenly.
- Melt Chocolate. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in short intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Add Chocolate Topping. Spoon the melted chocolate over the packed peanut butter cups, evenly covering the tops.
- Chill to Set. Place the muffin tray in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is firm and the cups are set.
- Serve. Once set, remove from liners if desired and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Cups!
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture or chunky for added crunch.
- Pressing the mixture firmly helps the cups hold their shape better.
- Melt chocolate carefully to avoid burning; stir frequently.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure your Rice Krispies cereal is gluten-free certified.
- Try using dark chocolate chips for a richer chocolate flavor.
