    Ingredient Notes

    • Chocolate – you can use any chocolate (or chocolate chips) that melts well.
    • Honey – works great in this recipe but if you’re in the UK or Australia, Golden Syrup is also a great option.
    • Rice Krispies – can be the name brand or any puffed rice cereal.
    • Peanut butter – should ideally be creamy, smooth and salted. Commercial brands like Jif, Skippy etc work great. You can also use a natural peanut butter, but make sure it’s stirred well beforehand.

    How To Make Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

    • Transfer to an 8×8 square dish (sprayed with non-stick spray and lined with parchment paper so that there is overhang on either side). Smooth down. To get it really smooth, place a sheet of parchment paper over the top (to prevent sticking) and use the base of a measuring cup to press down, making the surface as smooth as possible.
    • Place into the fridge while you work on the topping.
