Instructions

First, line a muffin pan with 6 paper liners.

Pour melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner to completely coat the liner.

In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, rice cereal (Kellogg rice krispie cereal is not gluten free. I recommend using The Real Cereal Company’s brown rice cereal), and maple syrup. Stir until combined.

Divide this mixture into 6 equal parts and place on top of the chocolate mixture.

Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate on top.

Place in the fridge for 15 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.

Finally, remove from the fridge and eat! Store in the fridge.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Temper Your Chocolate Properly 🍫
Melt dark chocolate gently over a double boiler (not direct heat) and cool it slightly to 88-90°F before coating to achieve a glossy finish and satisfying snap.
Toast the Brown Rice Cereal 🥣
Lightly toast the cereal in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing with peanut butter to intensify its nutty flavor and add extra crunch.
Freeze Between Layers ❄️
Freeze the chocolate-lined cups for 15 minutes before adding the peanut butter mixture, then freeze again before the final chocolate coating to prevent layers from blending together.
Use Natural Peanut Butter Strategically 🥜
Stir the natural peanut butter well before use to incorporate the oils, then slightly warm it (30 seconds in microwave) to make it spreadable without deflating the cereal texture.
Balance Sweetness with Maple Syrup 🍁
Add maple syrup gradually to the peanut butter mixture while tasting, as it's potent; start with 1 tablespoon per cup of peanut butter to avoid oversweetening and overpowering the chocolate.
