Ingredients
-
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
The chunkier it is, the more texture your treats will have. -
6 tablespoons honey
Adds natural sweetness and helps hold everything together.
-
1/8 teaspoon salt
Just a small amount to bring out the flavors. -
3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
The key to that light and crispy bite. -
1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips
For a rich, dairy-free chocolate layer on top.
How to Make Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats
1. Prepare the muffin pan
Line a muffin tin with paper liners, then lightly coat them with non-stick spray. This will make it much easier to remove the treats once they have set.
2. Melt the peanut butter mixture
Place the peanut butter, honey, and salt in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth, fully melted, and well blended.
3. Add the cereal
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix thoroughly so every piece is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
4. Fill the muffin liners
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan, dividing it evenly among the liners. Press each portion down firmly so the treats hold together well and do not fall apart later.
5. Melt the chocolate
In a separate saucepan over low heat, melt the vegan chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the chocolate is silky and smooth. Watch closely so it does not scorch.
6. Top each treat
Spoon the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture in each muffin cup. Spread it evenly across the top, and if you like, create a few decorative swirls for a more polished look.
7. Chill until firm
Transfer the muffin pan to the refrigerator and let the treats cool until they are fully set. This should only take a short time.
8. Serve and enjoy
Once firm, remove the treats from the fridge and peel away the liners. They are now ready to eat.
