Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tablespoon honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the muffin pan: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners or lightly spray it with cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the rice krispy cups.
- Melt peanut butter mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, honey, and salt. Stir until smooth and well combined, then remove from heat.
- Mix cereal with peanut butter: Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a medium bowl and pour the melted peanut butter mixture on top. Stir thoroughly to coat all the cereal evenly.
- Fill muffin cups: Spoon the cereal mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full. Press firmly to pack the mixture down tightly.
- Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in short intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
- Add chocolate topping: Spoon the melted chocolate over the packed peanut butter cups, spreading it evenly on top of each one.
- Chill to set: Place the muffin tray in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is firm, about 20-30 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, remove the cups from the pan and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- You can use chunky peanut butter for added texture if desired.
- Pressing the cereal mixture firmly into the muffin cups helps them hold together better.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free or vegan chocolate chips.
- If you don’t have muffin liners, spraying the pan well will prevent sticking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm.
