Ingredients

  • 3 cups crisp rice cereal
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (for base)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup semi -sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with non-stick spray.
  • In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and 1/2 cup peanut butter together until smooth.
  • Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until completely melted and integrated into the peanut butter mixture.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and gently fold in the crisp rice cereal until all grains are evenly coated.
  • Divide the cereal mixture among the 12 muffin cups, pressing down firmly with a greased spoon to create a level base.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter, and the coconut oil.
  • Microwave the chocolate mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the texture is completely smooth and glossy.
  • Spoon the chocolate mixture evenly over the rice cereal bases in the muffin tin, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate the tin for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate topping has fully set and hardened.
  • Remove the cups from the muffin tin and serve at room temperature.
