Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (370 milliliters) chocolate chips (vegan chocolate chips can be used)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) chunky peanut butter (for peanut flavor and texture)
- 3 cups (90 grams) Rice Krispies cereal (for crunchy base)
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 6 tablespoons (90 milliliters) honey (for natural sweetness)
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.6 grams) salt (enhances flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare a muffin tin by lining each cavity with paper or silicone liners to facilitate easy removal of the finished treats.
- Create a smooth peanut butter base by gently heating peanut butter, honey, and salt in a saucepan, stirring until the mixture becomes uniform and glossy.
- Carefully fold Rice Krispies cereal into the warm peanut butter mixture, ensuring each crisp morsel is thoroughly coated and distributed evenly.
- Distribute the peanut butter-coated cereal mixture into the prepared muffin tin, using gentle pressure to compact the base layer in each cup.
- Melt chocolate chips in a separate saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until the chocolate transforms into a silky, glossy liquid.
- Generously drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter cereal layer, using a spoon to spread and completely cover the surface of each cup.
- Chill the filled muffin tin in the refrigerator for a minimum of one hour, allowing the chocolate to solidify and set completely.
- Once fully set, carefully remove the cups from the tin, peel away the liners, and savor the delectable combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
Notes
- Prep these treats ahead of time for a quick no-bake dessert that satisfies sweet and salty cravings.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help them blend smoothly and prevent clumping.
- Silicone or paper liners make removing the cups effortless and ensure a clean, professional presentation.
- Press the cereal mixture gently to create a compact base that holds together perfectly.
- Store these chocolate peanut butter cups in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.
- For a fun twist, sprinkle sea salt or crushed peanuts on top of the melted chocolate layer before chilling.
