Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips
- 3 cups Rice Krispies
Binding Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons honey
Seasoning:
- 18 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Prepare the muffin tin by lining with paper or silicone cupcake liners, ensuring even coverage for easy removal.
- Combine peanut butter, honey, and salt in a saucepan, heating over medium temperature until the mixture becomes silky and thoroughly blended.
- Incorporate Rice Krispies into the warm peanut butter mixture, gently folding until each cereal piece is completely coated with the sweet, sticky sauce.
- Carefully distribute the coated Rice Krispies into the prepared muffin tin, using gentle pressure to mold each portion into compact, uniform cup shapes.
- Create a smooth chocolate coating by microwaving chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each cycle until completely melted and glossy.
- Drizzle the molten chocolate over each Rice Krispie cup, using a spoon or spatula to ensure total coverage and an even, appetizing finish.
- Transfer the filled muffin tin to the refrigerator, allowing the treats to solidify for approximately 60 minutes until the chocolate sets completely.
- Once chilled, delicately remove the paper liners and serve these decadent, no-bake confections at room temperature for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Swap peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for nut-free alternatives.
- Use dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet flavor profile.
- Gently press the Rice Krispies mixture to avoid dense, hard cups.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain freshness.
