Ingredients

Scale

Rice Krispies Mixture:

  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Chocolate Layer:

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter and marshmallows while stirring consistently until smooth.
  2. Add Peanut Butter: Stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract (if using) until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Mix with Cereal: Pour the Rice Krispies into a large bowl and add the peanut butter mixture. Gently fold until all the cereal is coated evenly.
  4. Shape the Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the mixture evenly into each cup and press down gently to form a flat surface.
  5. Add Chocolate Layer: Melt chocolate chips in the microwave (20-second intervals, stirring in between). Spoon melted chocolate over each cup and spread evenly. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
  6. Set & Serve: Allow the cups to cool at room temperature for 20 minutes or place them in the refrigerator to set faster. Once firm, remove the paper liners and serve!
