Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

Original Poster: I Bake He Shoots




I had first seen this recipe a few weeks ago now and thought it looked amazing. I'm not sure how I stumbled across it but I bookmarked it as soon as I did cause I knew I would have to try it out at some point. I made these just yesterday and tried them this morning...maybe, possibly for breakfast.. but they were amazing! Very sweet! I really like the creamy peanut butter taste mixed with the crunchy Rice Krispies texture. Then of course the chocolate on top is just amazing too. The best thing about it is that it's SUPER simple to make!

Ingredients: 

2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. vegan butter melted and divided
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup non-dairy semi-sweet chocolate

Directions:
1. Butter an 8x8 pan and line it with parchment paper that hangs over the edge of the pan just a little bit. I used non-stick foil because that's what I had on hand. This also worked fine.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cereal, confectioners sugar, peanut butter, vanilla and 1/2 cup melted butter.
3. Press mixture into prepared pan. Make it as flat as possible.
4. Melt chocolate. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring and repeating  until chocolate is completely melted.

5. Add in your remaining 2 Tbsp. of melted butter to your melted chocolate. Mix together well.
6. Spread chocolate mixture over the peanut butter mixture.
7. Place in refrigerator for at least an hour until set. I left mine in overnight and it was perfect the next morning.
