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

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal later. Set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Add the salted peanuts and crispy rice cereal to the saucepan. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the bars are firm and set.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature!
