In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and crispy rice cereal. Stir to distribute evenly and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, and cocoa powder. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. If the mixture is not fully combined, microwave for an additional 15-20 seconds and stir again.
Stir the vanilla extract into the warm peanut butter mixture.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the oats and rice cereal. Use a spatula to mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring all the dry ingredients are coated.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped almonds (if using) to add texture and flavor.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small, rough shapes that resemble moon rocks. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet as you go.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the moon rocks with sprinkles for a fun, colorful touch.
Let the moon rocks set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for a faster set time.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
