Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup honey or corn syrup
- 3 Snickers bars, chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bars once set.
- Melt Peanut Butter and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter and unsalted butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Sweetener: Stir in honey or corn syrup thoroughly to create a sticky mixture that will bind the ingredients together.
- Combine Cereal and Snickers: Add the crispy rice cereal and chopped Snickers bars into the peanut butter mixture and stir until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Press Mixture into Pan: Firmly press the combined mixture into the lined pan, ensuring an even layer for uniform thickness.
- Melt Chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until completely smooth.
- Pour and Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed cereal mixture and spread it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, allowing the bars to harden and set properly.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, remove from the fridge, lift the bars out using the parchment paper and cut into 16 portions. Serve and enjoy your no-bake crispy Snickers bars.
Notes
- Ensure peanut butter and butter are fully melted for even mixing.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to prevent the bars from falling apart.
- You can substitute honey with corn syrup depending on your sweetness preference.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For firmer bars, chill longer if needed before slicing.
