Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease a baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and liquid sweetener until smooth. You can add in a pinch of salt and vanilla extract if you have it.
  • Mix in Rice Krispies until evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, pressing it down firmly into an even layer.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth. Optionally, mix in extra peanut butter for a softer chocolate layer
  • Pour and spread the melted chocolate over the Rice Krispie layer, smoothing it out to the edges.
  • Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate sets. Cut into 12 squares and enjoy!

Notes

TIPS & NOTES:
  1. Mix Thoroughly: Ensure Rice Krispies are fully coated with the peanut butter mixture for the best texture.
  2. Press Firmly: Press the mixture down firmly in the baking dish to help the bars hold together.
  3. Chill Well: Refrigerate the treats for at least 15 minutes to set the chocolate properly.
  4. Cut Neatly: Use a sharp knife to cut the treats into squares; lightly oiling the knife can help with clean cuts.
  5. Customize: Feel free to add mix-ins like nuts or dried fruit, or top with sea salt for extra flavor.
  6. Peanut Butter in Chocolate Layer: This makes a softer layer of chocolate on top which makes the squares easier to cut. It's an optional addition.
 
MEASUREMENTS:
 
 
 
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your cheesecakes will come out perfectly.
