Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups rice cereal
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey (or corn syrup for a firmer texture)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture: In a medium saucepan, heat the peanut butter and honey over low heat, stirring until smooth and well combined.
- Add Rice Cereal: Remove from heat and add the rice cereal, stirring gently until fully coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Shape the Treats: Press the mixture firmly into a lined baking dish or shape it into small stacks like in the photo. Allow to cool and set for about 15 minutes.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip and Set: Dip each treat halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place on parchment paper and let the chocolate set (you can speed this up by placing them in the fridge for 10 minutes).
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, your treats are ready to enjoy!
Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
