Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips (vegan chocolate chips can be used)
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Binding Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons honey
Seasoning:
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Create a workspace with a muffin tin and paper or silicone liners, ensuring easy removal of the finished treats.
- In a medium saucepan, gently warm chunky peanut butter, honey, and salt, stirring continuously until the mixture transforms into a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Remove the peanut butter blend from heat and fold in Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring each crispy morsel is thoroughly coated with the rich, sweet mixture.
- Carefully distribute the peanut butter-coated cereal into the prepared muffin tin, using firm pressure to compact each cup and create a stable base.
- Create a separate chocolate layer by melting chocolate chips slowly over low heat, stirring attentively to prevent burning and achieve a silky-smooth texture.
- Generously pour the molten chocolate over each peanut butter cereal base, filling the cups to their brims and creating an enticing layered effect.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the refrigerator, allowing the chocolate cups to solidify for approximately one hour or expedite the process by placing them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Once completely set, carefully extract the cups from the muffin tin, delicately peeling away the liners to reveal the decadent chocolate peanut butter treats.
- Preserve any remaining cups in a sealed container within the refrigerator to maintain their perfect texture and flavor.
Notes
- Swap peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for nut-free alternative, ensuring safe enjoyment for those with allergies.
- Opt for dark chocolate chips to reduce sugar content and add sophisticated flavor complexity to the dessert.
- Use gluten-free Rice Krispies or rice cereal to make the recipe completely gluten-free and accessible for sensitive diets.
- Sprinkle sea salt or crushed nuts on top before chilling for added texture and gourmet presentation boost.
