Ingredients
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup Easter candy decorations
- 1 tablespoon butter or non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and corn syrup. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Once the mixture begins to bubble, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the smooth peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
Place the crispy rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold together with a spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into the prepared cake pan. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Step 6
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 7
Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed cereal mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth layer on top.
Step 8
Decorate the chocolate layer immediately with Easter candy decorations, pressing them lightly into the chocolate to secure them in place.
Step 9
Refrigerate the cake for 30-45 minutes, or until the chocolate has set and the cake is firm.
Step 10
Once set, carefully remove the cake from the pan by loosening the edges with a butter knife and transferring it to a serving plate.
Step 11
Slice into wedges or squares and serve. Enjoy your festive Easter Peanut Butter Bunny Crisp Cake!
