Description
These Rice Crispy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites are the perfect easy snack or dessert! With only four ingredients and about 10 minutes of prep time, these bites are absolutely irresistible.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (128g) peanut butter
- ¼ cup (88g) maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt optional – use if your peanut butter is unsalted
- 1½ cups gluten-free puffed brown rice cereal
For the chocolate topping
- 4 oz. dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, optional
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and salt. Stir in the puffed rice cereal until completely combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or other spoon, form 20 balls with the peanut butter cereal mixture. I like using a medium cookie scoop and pressed them firmly into the scoop to make a mound shape before placing on a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
- Once all of the mounds are made, place in the refrigerator or freezer to firm up for about 30 minutes to an hour.
- When they’re firm, melt the chocolate in the microwave or over the stove. If it seems too thick, add a teaspoon of cacao butter or coconut oil and whisk to combine.
- Cover each mound with chocolate – you can do this by dipping each mound into the chocolate, or using a spoon to drizzle it over the top. Garnish with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Refrigerate again to firm up the chocolate, and then they’re ready to serve! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
