Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups peanut butter
- 0.25 cups honey
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups crisp rice cereal
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cups mini marshmallows (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, and honey.
Microwave the mixture on medium power in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract once the mixture is fully melted and combined.
Add the crisp rice cereal to the bowl and gently fold it in until fully coated with the chocolate mixture.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and mini marshmallows at this stage for added texture and flavor.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Shape them into mounds, if necessary.
Chill the chocolate treasures in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until they are firm.
Once set, transfer the treats to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve and enjoy these no-bake crunchy chocolate delights!
