Ingredients

Ingredients:

- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted (or 1/2 cup for a light sprinkle)

Directions

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:

Measure out the Rice Krispies cereal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.

2. Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter:

Place the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

3. Combine with Butter and Vanilla:

Stir the melted butter and vanilla extract into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.

4. Coat the Cereal:

In a large mixing bowl, pour the chocolate mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal. Gently fold until all the cereal is evenly coated.

5. Spread and Cool:

Transfer the coated cereal mixture onto a baking sheet or into a pan. Let it cool completely to set before cutting.

6. Add the Finishing Touch:

Once cooled, place the bars into a large resealable bag. Add powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake gently to coat. Alternatively, dust the bars lightly with powdered sugar for a cleaner look.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

Slice into squares, serve, and savor the perfect mix of crunch and sweetness!
