Ingredients

• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3 cups Crispy rice cereal
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

Step 3

Once melted, add the creamy peanut butter and honey to the saucepan, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and powdered sugar. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture and stir until well coated.

Step 6

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan, using a spatula or your hands to flatten the surface.

Step 7

Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.

Step 8

Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter cereal layer in the baking pan.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.

Step 10

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve.

Step 11

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
