Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness
Instructions
- Prepare the cups: Choose small silicone or paper cupcake liners to assemble the treats for easy serving and removal.
- Layer peanut butter: Spoon a layer of creamy peanut butter into the bottom of each cup, smoothing it evenly as the first layer.
- Add Rice Krispies: Sprinkle a generous layer of Rice Krispies cereal over the peanut butter, gently pressing them down to create a compact layer.
- Top with chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Pour or spoon the melted chocolate over the Rice Krispies layer to cover completely.
- Chill to set: Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate hardens and the layers are set firmly.
- Serve: Once set, remove from the refrigerator and enjoy your no-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Cups.
Notes
- You can substitute crunchy peanut butter if preferred for more texture.
- For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Optional sweetener can be added to peanut butter to enhance sweetness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
