Main Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Muffin Pan: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners or spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt Peanut Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the peanut butter, honey, and salt together, stirring until smooth and well combined.
- Combine with Cereal: Pour the peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a medium bowl and stir thoroughly to fully coat all the cereal pieces.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Scoop the coated cereal mixture into each muffin cup, filling about two-thirds full, and press firmly to compact the mixture.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth and melted.
- Top with Chocolate: Spoon the melted chocolate onto the top of each peanut butter cup, spreading evenly.
- Chill to Set: Place the muffin tray in the refrigerator and let the cups chill until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cups from the pan and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Cups!
Notes
- Use creamy or chunky peanut butter based on your texture preference.
- Honey substitutes like maple syrup can be used for a different flavor.
- For quicker chocolate melting, use a double boiler if preferred.
- Pressing the cereal mixture firmly helps the cups hold together better.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
