Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tablespoon honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Topping
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line a muffin pan with muffin liners or spray it lightly 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 and combined.
- Combine with Cereal: Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a medium bowl, then pour the melted peanut butter mixture over it. Stir well to fully coat all the cereal.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the cereal mixture into each muffin liner, filling about two-thirds full. Press down firmly to pack the mixture tightly.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in short bursts, stirring between each until smooth.
- Top Cups: Spoon the melted chocolate evenly over the packed peanut butter cups in the muffin pan.
- Chill to Set: Place the muffin tray in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate topping to harden for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cups from the liners and enjoy your tasty treat!
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture, but chunky peanut butter adds a pleasant crunch.
- For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup and use vegan chocolate chips.
- Pressing the mixture firmly helps the cups hold together better.
- If chocolate hardens too quickly while topping, gently reheat it to keep it spreadable.
- Store the cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
