Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 1/2 cup Honey or Light Corn Syrup Acts as a binding agent.

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal Use certified gluten-free Rice Krispies.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Feel free to use dark, milk, or white chocolate.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Can be replaced with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Muffin tin
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of smooth peanut butter and 1/2 cup of honey over low heat. Stir consistently for about 3–5 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, pour the peanut butter mixture over 6 cups of gluten-free Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold until thoroughly coated.
  4. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and press the mixture into each liner, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted.
  6. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each filled Rice Krispie cup, ensuring even coverage.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and let the cups chill for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Carefully remove the cups from the muffin tin by lifting the paper liners and serve chilled or at room temperature.
