Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips vegan chocolate chips also work
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 6 tablespoons honey
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper or silicone liners for easy removal of the cups.
- Melt the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of chunky peanut butter, 6 tablespoons of honey, and ⅛ teaspoon of salt. Stir continuously until smooth and well combined, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine with Rice Krispies: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Mix thoroughly until all cereal is coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Form the Cups: Spoon the peanut butter and Rice Krispies mixture into the prepared muffin tin, pressing down gently to form cup shapes. Ensure the mixture is packed firmly to hold its shape.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a separate saucepan, melt 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
- Fill the Cups with Chocolate: Spoon the melted chocolate over each Rice Krispie base in the muffin tin, filling to the top.
- Chill to Set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or in the freezer for 30 minutes, until the chocolate is set and the cups are firm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove the cups from the muffin tin and peel off the liners. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
