Instructions
 

  • Line a loaf pan with baking paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  • In a bowl, melt the peanut butter and dark chocolate together until smooth (microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each).
  • Add in the puffed rice and oats, and mix until everything is evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture into the lined loaf pan and press down VERY firmly into an even layer.
  • Refrigerate for 45–60 minutes, or until fully set.
  • Lift out using the baking paper and slice into squares or bars.

Notes

TIPS & NOTES:
  • Press the mixture down very firmly into the loaf pan so the bars hold together well when sliced.
  • Melt the peanut butter and chocolate gently to avoid burning or seizing.
  • If the mixture feels too dry, add a little extra peanut butter (10–20g).
  • If it feels too soft, add a bit more puffed rice or oats.
  • Chill fully before slicing for clean, neat squares.
  • Use a sharp knife warmed slightly under hot water for cleaner cuts.
  • For extra flavour, add a pinch of salt or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • These also freeze well for a grab-and-go snack.
 
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your Rice Krispie Treats will come out perfectly.
