Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and mini marshmallows while stirring consistently until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add Peanut Butter: Stir in the creamy peanut butter and optional vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and fully blended.
  3. Mix with Cereal: Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into a large bowl, then gently fold in the peanut butter mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated.
  4. Shape the Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the cereal mixture evenly into each cup and press down gently with a spatula or your fingers to flatten and compact the surface.
  5. Add Chocolate Layer: Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Spoon the melted chocolate over each Rice Krispie cup and spread evenly across the top. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top if desired.
  6. Set & Serve: Let the cups cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes or place them in the refrigerator to set faster. Once firm, remove the paper liners and serve your delicious chocolate peanut butter Rice Krispie cups.

Notes

  • For a quicker set, refrigerate the cups for 15-20 minutes.
  • Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet option.
  • Ensure to stir continuously when melting marshmallows and butter to avoid burning.
  • These cups are best enjoyed within 3 days stored in an airtight container.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with peanut butter chips if you prefer more peanut flavor.
