Description

These Peanut Butter Crunch Cups are a quick and delicious no-bake treat combining creamy peanut butter, crunchy Rice Krispies, and an optional drizzle of dark chocolate topped with sea salt. Perfect for a satisfying snack or dessert, they require minimal ingredients and only 15 minutes of active prep time.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup all-natural peanut butter (creamy, any nut butter will work)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Rice Krispies Cereal
  • Sea salt (for topping)

Chocolate Drizzle (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners or use a silicone mold for best results.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Crispy Cereal: Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal gently to maintain crunchiness.
  4. Fill Liners: Using a tablespoon, scoop heaping portions of the mixture into each cupcake liner, distributing evenly across all 12 liners.
  5. Freeze: Place the filled muffin tin in the freezer for at least 20 minutes, or until the peanut butter cups are firm.
  6. Make Chocolate Drizzle: While the cups firm, microwave dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl for 30 seconds to 1 minute until melted, stirring to combine smoothly.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the peanut butter cups from the freezer, drizzle with the melted chocolate mixture, and sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated.

Notes

  • Any nut butter can be substituted for peanut butter to vary the flavor.
  • Silicone molds are especially convenient if you do not want to use liners.
  • Store finished cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain texture.
  • For vegan variation, use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
  • The chocolate drizzle is optional but adds a delightful touch of sweetness and flavor.
