Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, peanut butter, and honey together, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 4
Place the crispy rice cereal into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold everything together until the cereal is fully coated.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down evenly and firmly into the pan.
Step 6
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Step 7
Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed cereal mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the top.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pan for 1-2 hours or until the bars are firm and the chocolate is set.
Step 9
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 16 even squares.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
