Ingredients
- For the Krispie Cups:
- 4 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey or light corn syrup
- For the Chocolate Topping:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
Mix It Up!
In a large bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal with the magic duo: peanut butter and honey or corn syrup. Stir until the cereal is fully coated and deliciously sticky.
Cup It!
Spoon the mixture into a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners, pressing firmly to shape them into cups with a hollow center. Pop them into the fridge for about 15 minutes to set.
Melt the Magic!
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and more peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth and glossy.
Fill ‘Em Up!
Remove the chilled cups from the fridge and fill the centers with the chocolate-peanut butter mix. Smooth the tops with a spoon for that picture-perfect finish.
Chill Out!
Return them to the fridge for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. Then, bite into your homemade chocolate-peanut butter bliss!
