Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter Can be replaced with almond butter or any nut butter.
  • 2 cups crispy rice cereal Substitute with any puffed cereal or crushed graham crackers if needed.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
  2. Add the crispy rice cereal to the melted mixture and stir until all pieces are coated.
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased pan and press it down evenly.
  4. Let it cool at room temperature or in the fridge until set.
  5. Cut into squares and serve!

Notes

Store any leftover squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Refrigerate for up to two weeks for longer freshness. Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure the squares hold together well. Feel free to add toppings like sprinkles or crushed nuts for extra flavor.
