Ingredients
  

For the Cups
  • ¼ cup Unsalted Butter substitute with margarine or coconut oil
  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows use vegan marshmallows for a plant-based option
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter swap for crunchy peanut butter for extra texture
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies Cereal can be substituted with any crispy cereal
For the Chocolate Topping
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips consider dark chocolate for less sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract optional
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt optional

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • mixing bowl
  • muffin tin
  • rubber spatula
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a saucepan over low heat, combine unsalted butter and mini marshmallows. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until smooth and fully melted.
  2. Add the creamy peanut butter and optional vanilla extract, stirring until completely combined and creamy.
  3. In a large bowl, pour in the crispy Rice Krispies cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the mixture using a rubber spatula for an even coating.
  4. Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners. Scoop the Rice Krispie mixture and press it into the liners, creating compact cups.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until completely melted and smooth.
  6. Spoon the melted chocolate over each cup, ensuring an even layer covers the top.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the cups to set properly.
