These Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats with a Chocolate Twist are the perfect low-carb snack for sweet cravings! They combine the nutty richness of peanut butter with the crunch of crispy rice cereal and a decadent drizzle of dark chocolate on top.

Ingredients

• 4 cups rice cereal (low-carb version preferred)

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)

• 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (for drizzle)

Directions

• Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the peanut butter and maple syrup together. Stir continuously until smooth, then add vanilla extract.

  

• Combine with Rice Cereal: In a large bowl, pour the peanut butter mixture over the rice cereal. Mix well until the cereal is evenly coated.

• Set the Mixture: Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined 9×9-inch pan. Press firmly to ensure an even layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.

• Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the set Rice Krispie treats.

  

• Slice and Serve: Once the chocolate drizzle has hardened, slice the treats into squares. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later.

Note:

• For a crunchier texture, you can lightly toast the rice cereal before mixing it with the peanut butter.
