Ingredients
  

Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips Can substitute with dark chocolate if desired.
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil or butter Optional, helps chocolate to melt smoother.
Filling
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter Easiest to mix and sets best.
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal Ensure freshness for best results.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances sweetness.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Optional, adds warmth.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line your muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second bursts, stirring each time until smooth. Stir in coconut oil or butter if it looks thick.
  3. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each liner, just enough to coat the bottom. Tilt the liner to help spread the chocolate, then freeze for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter with Rice Krispies until the cereal is evenly coated. Add a pinch of salt.
  5. Scoop the peanut butter mixture on top of the set chocolate bases and press gently to ensure evenness.
  6. Top with remaining melted chocolate, tapping lightly on the counter to settle the layer.
  7. Chill until set—about 30-45 minutes in the fridge or 15-20 minutes in the freezer.

Notes

Use liners to avoid mess. For best results, do not overheat chocolate and gently press layers together to maintain lightness. Let them set fully for a better texture.
