Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

2 cups puffed rice cereal (or your favorite cereal)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or peanuts; optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Paper cupcake liners

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cupcake Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners to create individual cups.

    Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until smooth and well blended. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing again.

      Add Cereal & Extras: Gently fold in the puffed rice cereal, making sure it is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture. If you're using chocolate chips and chopped nuts, add them into the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.

        Fill the Liners: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, fill each cupcake liner with the mixture. Press down gently to compact the mixture and ensure they hold together well.

          Freeze: Place the muffin tin in the freezer for at least 1 hour or until the cups are completely frozen and firm.

            Remove and Store: Once frozen, carefully peel away the paper liners from the cups. Store the frozen peanut butter cereal cups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

              Serve: Whenever you're ready to enjoy them, simply take a cup out of the freezer and let it sit for a minute or two before enjoying your delicious, frozen treat!
