Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, butter, and honey.
Place the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the bowl and gently fold it into the chocolate mixture until the cereal is fully coated.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Chill the chocolate peanut butter crunchies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until fully set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
