Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups of crispy rice cereal
1 cup of smooth peanut butter
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Mix in the Cereal: Once the chocolate and peanut butter are well combined, remove the bowl from the microwave. Gradually add the crispy rice cereal, folding it into the mixture until fully coated.
Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Transfer the Mixture: Pour the chocolate-cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly into an even layer.
Chill Until Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the bars have set completely.
Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
