Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats: A Delicious No-Bake Dessert

Method:

Step 1: Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter and honey (or light corn syrup) over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, but be careful not to let it boil.
2. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
3. Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the peanut butter mixture and fold until the cereal is fully coated.

Step 2: Form the Base

1. Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
2. Spoon the peanut butter Rice Krispies mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, pressing it down with a spoon or your fingers to create a firm base layer.

Step 3: Create the Chocolate Topping

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter.
2. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
3. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter Rice Krispies base, spreading it evenly across the top.

Step 4: Chill and Set

1. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate layer is completely set.
2. Once set, remove the treats from the muffin tin and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats

1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Make sure your cereal is fresh for the best texture. Stale Rice Krispies won’t give you the crunch you’re looking for.
2. Adjust Sweetness: For those who prefer a less sweet treat, use honey instead of corn syrup and opt for dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
3. Storage: Store the treats in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep for up to a week, but they’re so delicious, they probably won’t last that long!
