Ingredients

• 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang for easy removal of the bars.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, honey, and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (dampened slightly to prevent sticking) to press the mixture down firmly and evenly.

Step 5

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed cereal mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle sea salt over the top for a sweet-and-salty flavor.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the bars are firm and set.

Step 8

Once set, remove the bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 squares or bars using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
