Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips
- 3 cups Rice Krispies
Binding Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons honey
Seasoning:
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the muffin tin by lining it with paper or silicone cups to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the treats.
- Combine peanut butter, honey, and salt in a saucepan, gently heating over low temperature until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated.
- Fold Rice Krispies into the warm peanut butter blend, ensuring each cereal piece is thoroughly coated with the sticky mixture.
- Carefully distribute the coated Rice Krispies into each muffin cup, using firm pressure to compact the mixture and create a solid base.
- Melt chocolate chips using a microwave in 30-second intervals or a double boiler, stirring until achieving a completely smooth and glossy consistency.
- Generously drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter Rice Krispie bases, covering the entire surface evenly.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the refrigerator and chill for approximately 60 minutes, allowing the chocolate to solidify completely.
- Once set, gently remove the liners and serve the decadent chocolate peanut butter cups at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting honey amount for less sugar or more intense flavor.
- Swap traditional peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for nut-free versions.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer, less sweet chocolate coating that pairs beautifully with the nutty base.
- Press mixture gently but firmly into muffin cups to ensure compact, neat shapes that hold together perfectly.
