Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey or corn syrup
- 3 Snickers bars, chopped into small pieces
Topping
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bars once set.
- Melt Butter and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Sweetener: Stir in the honey or corn syrup until completely combined, which will help bind the ingredients and add sweetness.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the crispy rice cereal and chopped Snickers bars to the peanut butter mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure every piece is well coated.
- Press Mixture Into Pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it down firmly and evenly to create a compact base layer.
- Melt Chocolate Topping: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using the same 30-second interval method, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed cereal mixture and spread it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the bars are fully set and firm to the touch.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper, cut into 16 equal pieces, and enjoy your no-bake treats!
Notes
- Ensure the peanut butter and butter mixture is smooth before adding cereal to avoid clumps.
- You can substitute crunchy peanut butter if you prefer added texture.
- For a vegan alternative, use dairy-free butter and chocolate chips.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
- Feel free to add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for extra flavor.
