Crispy Crunch Bites

 

Ingredients:

1 cup of crispy rice cereal

1/2 cup of peanut butter

1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup of chopped nuts (such as peanuts or almonds)

1/4 cup of chocolate chips (optional)

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips (if using). Set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Pour the peanut butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until the cereal is evenly coated.

Line a baking dish or tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking dish.

Once all the mixture has been rolled into balls, place the baking dish in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the bites to firm up.

Once firm, remove the bites from the refrigerator and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

These Crispy Crunch Bites are a delicious and satisfying snack that's perfect for any time of day!
