Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 1 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Salted peanuts (lightly crushed)
- 1 cup Crispy rice cereal
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, honey, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved, about 3-4 minutes. Do not allow it to boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the salted peanuts and crispy rice cereal to the saucepan. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared 8x8-inch baking pan. Press it firmly and evenly into the pan using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the top. Let them sit for about 2 minutes to soften, and then gently spread them with a spatula to form a thin chocolate layer on top.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the bars are firm and set.
Once firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place them on a cutting board. Cut into 12 bars or desired sizes.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature!
