Ingredients
3 1⁄2 cups Rice Krispies Cereal1⁄2 cup Coconut Oil
1 cup Peanut Butter (creamy, plus 3 tablespoons)
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (plus 1 tablespoon)
Directions
- In a large skillet, toast the rice cereal over medium heat until fragrant and deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, set aside and let cool. Put cooled cereal into a zip-top bag. Crush with a rolling pin.
- In a large bowl, mix together coconut oil and 1 cup of peanut butter until smooth. Add in toasted rice cereal, powdered sugar and salt, then mix until well combined.
- Grease an 8 by 8-inch pan with cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the greased pan and press down firmly with a spatula to ensure a flat, solid layer.
- In a microwave-safe medium bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of peanut butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Pour this chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the flattened rice cereal-peanut butter layer and spread into a smooth layer from corner to corner. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of chocolate peanut butter layer.
- Freeze until firm to the touch, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the large square from the pan and cut into eight 1-inch by 8-inch strips. One strip at a time, slice on the diagonal every 1½-inch lengths to form diamonds. Serve right out of the freezer!
