Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1/2 cup Peanut butter
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt
Chocolate Topping
- 1/2 cup Dark chocolate (70%)
- 2 tbsp Coconut Cream You can use regular cream too.
- Sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Line an 8" pan with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, honey and sea salt and heat over a very gentle heat. The mixture should be just heated through and melted together.
- Pour over the Rice Krispies and mix well.
- Spoon into the prepared pan and flatten it, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for a few minutes while you are making the chocolate topping.
Chocolate Topping
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan, placed over a pan of simmering water. Add the chocolate to the cream and mix well, till you get a shiny glossy mixture.
- Spread this over the peanut butter Rice Krispies mixture. Sprinkle some sea salt on top.
- Put the pan back in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until the bars are well set.
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Allow the peanut butter squares to set well in the refrigerator. This will help you cut neater pieces.
- Dark chocolate works the best in this recipe as it balances the sweetness of the Rice Krispies mixture.
- Don't skip the sea salt. It really rounds up the flavors beautifully.
- I used an 8" round pan but an 8" or 9" square pan will also work well.
