Ingredients
  

For the Cups
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter Use natural peanut butter for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup honey or corn syrup Honey provides a richer flavor.
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal Ensure you use the original Rice Krispies.
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Dark chocolate can be used for a richer taste.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter chips Optional for extra peanut butter flavor.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds depth to the flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances the sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the creamy peanut butter and honey (or corn syrup). Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until it’s melted and smooth.
  3. Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the melted peanut butter mixture, stirring well until the cereal is fully coated.
  4. Scoop the cereal mixture into the prepared muffin cups, pressing down gently to create an even layer in each cup.
  5. In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips (add the peanut butter chips if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  6. Spoon the melted chocolate mixture over the tops of the Rice Krispie cups, spreading it evenly.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
