Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Cups – A Sweet and Crunchy Treat

In a medium saucepan, heat the peanut butter and honey (if using) over medium heat, stirring constantly until the peanut butter is smooth and melted.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract if desired.
2. Add Rice Krispies
Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the peanut butter mixture and gently fold it in until the cereal is fully coated.
3. Make the Cups
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
Spoon the Rice Krispie mixture into each cup, pressing down gently to form compact layers.
4. Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Spoon the melted chocolate over the top of each Rice Krispie cup, spreading it evenly.
5. Chill and Set
Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30-60 minutes, or until the chocolate has set and the cups are firm.
