Ingredients
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.

- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir until well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press firmly into an even layer using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased).
