6 tablespoons of honey (for that extra touch of sweetness)
1/8 teaspoon of salt (just a pinch to enhance the flavors)
3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal (the classic crispy goodness)

instructions
Grab a muffin pan and line it with liners. Give them a light spray of non-stick spray to make sure your treats come out easily.
Time to melt some goodness! In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the peanut butter, honey, and salt.
Keep stirring until everything is melted and well combined. You’ll start to smell the delicious aroma!
Once the mixture is smooth and melted, take it off the heat.
Now it’s time to add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir it in until all the cereal is coated and mixed well. You want every bite to be packed with that peanut butter flavor.
Get your muffin pan ready and evenly distribute the mixture into the liners.
Press it down firmly to make sure everything sticks together nicely. You don’t want any crumbly treats!
Now for the chocolaty goodness. In another saucepan over low heat, melt those vegan chocolate chips.
Keep stirring constantly until they’re perfectly melted and smooth. Be careful not to burn it!
Spoon the melted chocolate over each treat in the muffin pan, making sure to distribute it smoothly and evenly.
Get creative and make some swirls or patterns if you’re feeling fancy.
It’s time to chill out! Pop the muffin pan in the refrigerator and let the treats firm up.
It won’t take too long, just enough time to build up your excitement.
Once they’re firm and ready to go, take them out of the fridge.
Peel off the liners and get ready to indulge in these irresistible Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats.
Share them with friends or keep them all to yourself – no judgment here!
So, go ahead and treat yourself to these delectable goodies.
They’re the perfect combination of sweet, crunchy, and chocolaty goodness that will satisfy your cravings in no time.

To store Crunchy Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats, allow them to cool completely after making.
Once cooled, cut them into squares and store them in an airtight container.
They can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, refrigerate them, where they will last for up to a week.
You can also freeze the treats by wrapping each piece in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
When ready to eat, let them thaw at room temperature.
For variations, you can substitute the peanut butter with almond or cashew butter, or add dried fruit or chopped nuts for additional texture and flavor.
You can also switch up the chocolate chips, using dark or white chocolate for a different taste.
When making the treats, be sure to gently press the mixture into the pan so they don’t become too compact.
For a firmer texture, chill the treats in the fridge before cutting them into squares. Using parchment paper in the pan will make it easier to remove and slice the treats cleanly.
