Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup (or honey for a natural option)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate topping)
Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Large mixing bowl
- 8×8-inch baking dish (or similar size)
- Parchment paper
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Dish
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Mixture
- In a medium saucepan, combine the corn syrup and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just begins to bubble (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Combine with Cereal
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal.
- Gently fold together until the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 4: Press Into the Dish
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Use a spatula or lightly greased hands to press it firmly and evenly into the dish.
Step 5: Add the Chocolate Topping
- Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cereal layer.
Step 6: Chill and Slice
- Refrigerate the dish for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Once firm, lift the treats out using the parchment paper and cut into squares or bars.
Tips
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- Add mini marshmallows or chopped nuts for a fun twist.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for a firmer texture.
