Instructions

Prepare the Baking Dish:
Line an 8×8 square baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal later. -
Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter:
Place the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate and peanut butter are completely melted and smooth. -
Add Rice Krispies:
Once the chocolate and peanut butter mixture is smooth, add the rice krispies and stir well to coat all the cereal with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. -
Spread in Pan:
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle with a pinch of flaked sea salt for an extra touch of flavor. -
Freeze:
Freeze for 15 minutes to set the bars. Once firm, remove from the freezer and cut into 8 bars.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can substitute rice krispies with other crispy cereals like cornflakes.
- You can store these bars in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage.
