Ingredients
Scale
3 cups (90 g) Rice Krispies cereal
1/2 cup (120 g) creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) light corn syrup or honey
1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, butter, sugar, and corn syrup (or honey). Stir until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies until evenly coated.
Place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper on a flat surface. Press the Rice Krispies mixture evenly into a rectangle, approximately 12×8 inches. Use a rolling pin or your hands to smooth it out.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the Rice Krispies rectangle. Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly but still remain pliable.
Starting from the shorter side, carefully roll the rectangle into a tight log using the parchment paper to help lift and guide the roll. Place the roll seam-side down on the parchment.
Wrap the roll in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Once chilled, slice into 1/2-inch rounds and serve.
Notes
Ensure the Rice Krispies are coated evenly for the best texture.
Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Feel free to add nuts or additional toppings for extra crunch.
