Ingredients
Creamy peanut butter
Semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Butter
Vanilla extract
Crispy rice cereal (e.g., Rice Krispies)
Optional: pinch of salt or crushed peanuts for topping
Instructions
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, chocolate, and peanut butter together, stirring constantly until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (and salt, if using).
Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until fully coated.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form cookies.
Let the cookies set at room temperature or chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes.
Once firm, store in an airtight container or enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
Add mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, or switch to white/butterscotch chips for fun variations.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt or drizzle with extra melted chocolate for a fancy finish.
