👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Prepare a medium-sized square baking pan and line it with parchment paper or plastic wrap so it's easy to remove later. Set aside.
- 2 Melt the margarine, cooking chocolate, and peanut butter in a small saucepan over very low heat while stirring continuously, or use a double boiler over a pot of hot water so the chocolate doesn't seize.
- 3 Once the chocolate mixture is smooth and glossy, turn off the heat. Add the honey and salt, then stir until fully combined.
- 4 Add the Rice Krispies cereal into the chocolate mixture little by little, gently folding with a spatula so the cereal doesn't break, just enough until every piece is coated with chocolate.
- 5 Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, then flatten and press it down firmly using the back of a spoon or a flat spatula.
- 6 If desired, melt the white chocolate and drizzle a thin layer over the top, then sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts for extra texture.
- 7 Place the pan in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours until fully set and firm.
- 8 Remove from the fridge, cut into squares or bars as desired, and serve cold.
💡 Tips
• Use very low heat when melting the chocolate so it doesn't clump or burn; use a double boiler technique if needed.
• Don't stir the cereal too vigorously so it stays crispy and doesn't break into crumbs.
• Press the mixture down firmly so the pieces don't fall apart easily when cut.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge; it will keep for up to 5 days.
