Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick salted butter 8 tablespoons, to brown
  • 1/3 cup honey for sweetness
  • 1/3 cup real maple syrup for depth of flavor
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter for nuttiness
  • 5 1/3 cups brown rice Krispies for crunch
  • 8-12 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate melted, for coating
  • 20-24 pieces pretzel twists for topping

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • Knife or pizza cutter

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the salted butter. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma (5-7 minutes).
  2. Remove the butter from heat and stir in honey, maple syrup, and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the brown rice Krispies and pour the warm peanut butter mixture over them. Mix until evenly coated.
  4. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish and press it down evenly using a spatula or greased hands.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up. Meanwhile, melt your chocolate using a double boiler or microwave.
  6. Once firm, cut the treats into squares or rectangles. Dip each piece into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. While the chocolate is wet, gently press a pretzel twist on top of each treat.
  8. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use almond or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
  • Experiment with different cereals for a unique twist.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
