Crispy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Crispy Peanut Butter Bars
Chocolate Topping
Instructions
1
Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together the crispy brown rice cereal and peanuts.
2
In a small saucepan, mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil until the mixture is smooth and the coconut oil is melted. Turn off the heat and add the vanilla, salt (if using), and cinnamon. Add the peanut butter mixture to the cereal mix, and stir until completely combined. There should be no dry cereal spots.
3
Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan, and press with the back of a spoon (or clean hands) until you have an even layer.
4
In a microwave (or double-boiler), melt the chocolate and coconut oil until just melted. Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Tilt the pan around until you have a smooth, even layer of chocolate. Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles or flaky salt. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
5
Let the bars sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. Cut into 16 even squares. Store in an airtight container for up to four days, or freeze for up to two months!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Temper Your Chocolate 🍫Melt dark chocolate to 88-90°F and cool slightly before drizzling to achieve a glossy finish and satisfying snap when biting into the bars.
- Toast Your Cereal First 🥣Lightly toast the crispy rice cereal in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before mixing to intensify its nutty flavor and maintain crispness longer.
- Use Natural Peanut Butter Correctly 🥜If your peanut butter has separated oil, stir it back in before measuring to ensure proper texture and binding in your bars.
- Chill Strategically ❄️Refrigerate your peanut butter layer for at least 30 minutes before adding chocolate to prevent the layers from blending and maintain clean separation.
- Cut While Cool, Not Cold 🔪Cut bars when they're cool but not frozen solid (about 2 hours) to achieve clean edges without cracking or sticking to your knife.
