Serving Size: Makes 9 servings

Prep time:

Cook time:

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups puffed rice cereal, brown or regular, like Rice Krispies
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter, or any nut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey (can replace with maple syrup or brown rice syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate melting wafers
  • orange M&Ms

    • Instructions:
    1. Add the puffed rice cereal to a large mixing bowl.
    2. Combine the nut butter and honey in a microwave safe dish. Heat for 30-45 seconds. Stir to combine well.
    3. Add the vanilla extract and salt to the melted PB honey mixture and stir to combine.
    4. Pour the mixture into the puffed rice cereal and fold with a spatula to combine.
    5. Line an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the puffed cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Using a spatula, press the cereal mixture down into the pan until even.
    6. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl according to the package. Pour over the rice krispie treats, use a spatula to spread the chocolate out in an even layer. Place in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
    7. Remove from the fridge and allow to sit for 20 minutes or so before slicing in to 9 squares. If you cut the rice krispie treats too cold, the chocolate coating will crack.
    8. Melt the dark chocolate according to the package and scoop it into an icing bag or large ziploc bag. Cut a tiny hole in the end. Draw eyes, mouth, and a top hat on the snowmen. Then use the chocolate to adhere the orange M&Ms as a nose. Best if stored in fridge in an airtight container.
