Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 3 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, honey, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble lightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until it is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.

Step 4

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Pour the cereal mixture into the dish and press it down firmly into an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 5

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth topping.

Step 7

Refrigerate the dish for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate topping is set and the peanut butter crunch is firm.

Step 8

Once set, remove the dessert from the baking dish by lifting the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 squares or bars.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a delicious, nutty crunch!
