Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (chunky works too)
- 6 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners or spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt Peanut Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the peanut butter, honey, and salt together, stirring until smooth.
- Mix with Cereal: Pour the peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a medium bowl and stir thoroughly to coat the cereal evenly.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the coated cereal mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full, and press firmly to pack the mixture down tightly.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in short intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Top with Chocolate: Spoon the melted chocolate over the tops of the peanut butter cups, creating a smooth chocolate layer.
- Chill to Set: Place the muffin tray in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is firm, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cups from the liners, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- To make the cups extra crunchy, use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetness.
- Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth for an even topping.
- Pressing the cereal mixture firmly ensures the cups hold together without crumbling.
- Store leftover cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
