- 3.5 oz (100g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (250g) coarsely chopped salted peanuts
- 1 cup (250g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups (375ml) light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup (125g) granulated sugar
- 75g (2.6 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups (1L) Rice Krispies cereal
1. Combine 250g (8.8 oz) of sugar, 120ml (4 fl oz) of corn syrup, 120g (4.3 oz) of peanut butter, and 115g (4 oz) of butter in a large saucepan.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat, which is approximately 175°C (350°F), and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches a simmer.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 120g (4.3 oz) of peanuts and 120g (4.3 oz) of Rice Krispies cereal until the ingredients are well combined.
4. Let the mixture cool down and set.
5. Using two spoons, drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Press down gently on each mound to flatten it slightly, then let them cool and set completely.
7. Melt 250g (8.8 oz) of chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is smooth.
8. Dip the cooled treats into the melted chocolate, making sure they are completely coated.
9. Let the chocolate-covered treats set on parchment paper before serving.
