Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup peanut butter chips (optional)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
Directions:
1. Let’s start by preparing the cups. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or give them a light greasing.
2. Now, it’s time to melt the peanut butter goodness. In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter with honey or corn syrup. Pop it in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until it’s beautifully melted and smooth.
3. Add a bit of crunch by mixing in the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir it all together until every piece is coated.
4. Spoon this delightful mixture into your prepared muffin cups, pressing down gently to form an even layer.
5. Time to bring on the chocolate! In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, and if you’re feeling it, add those peanut butter chips too. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring as you go until it’s wonderfully smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and just a pinch of salt for good measure.
6. Spread this melted chocolate mixture lovingly over your Rice Krispie cups.
7. Finally, let them set by popping them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Once the chocolate is firm, they’re ready to enjoy. Enjoy each blissful bite!
