Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips and butter together, stirring continuously until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Place Rice Krispies in a large mixing bowl and pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over them. Fold gently until every piece is coated.
  5. Transfer coated cereal into a large resealable bag or bowl with powdered sugar. Seal or stir to ensure even coating.
  6. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool for 10–15 minutes.

  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

For smoother coating, use creamy peanut butter.

Adjust powdered sugar to control sweetness.

Use gluten-free Rice Krispies if needed.

Handle cereal gently to avoid crushing.
