🥜 Ingredients
For about 12 crispy cups, you’ll need:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate)
- ½ cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- A pinch of sea salt (optional, for garnish)
🍯 Instructions
1️⃣ Melt the chocolate and peanut butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and honey.
Melt together using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
2️⃣ Add flavor and crunch
Stir in the vanilla extract, then gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until every piece is coated in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
3️⃣ Fill the molds
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone molds. Spoon the mixture evenly into each cup, pressing gently to compact the layers.
4️⃣ Chill to set
Place the tray in the refrigerator for 30–45 minutes, or until the cups are firm and set.
5️⃣ Serve and enjoy!
Once firm, remove the cups from the liners and enjoy your crunchy, chocolatey snack.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
🍫 Optional Variations
- Nut-free version: Use sunflower seed butter or almond butter instead of peanut butter.
- Extra indulgent: Add a layer of melted dark chocolate on top before chilling.
- Healthy twist: Mix in chia seeds, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for extra texture.
