Best 5 Crispy Peanut Butter Cocoa Cups Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER COCOA CRISPY BARS

Steps:

• Spray an 8x11 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour Cocoa Puffs™ into a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a small, microwave-safe bowl, place 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of corn syrup, 3 tablespoons of butter,1/2 cup of brown sugar, and vanilla. Heat together for 1 minute, then stir. Heat an additional minute, then remove from microwave and stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
• Pour mixture over Cocoa Puffs™ , and stir to coat cereal. Transfer Cocoa Puffs™ into prepared 8x11 inch baking dish and pat gently with a spatula to even out.
• Place the remaining peanut butter and butter into a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-60 seconds, stir, then spread the melted peanut butter over the cereal layer. Place pan in fridge or freezer for 5-10 minutes, while you prep the final layer.
• Place the remaining chocolate chips and the heavy cream in a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30-90 seconds, then stir until smooth and creamy. Spread over the peanut butter layer. Return to the fridge and allow bars to set up completely before slicing into servings (about 60-90 minutes.)

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CRISPY BARS

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking dish with a strip of parchment paper, cut to fit neatly across the base and up opposite sides. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown rice crisps and 1 cup of the chopped pecans (reserve the rest for sprinkling on top). Set both aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter and honey. Warm the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring often, until it's steaming or you catch a bubble or two forming on the bottom, about 5 minutes. (We don't want this mixture to come to a boil or the peanut butter could scorch.)
• Pour the warm mixture into the bowl of rice crisps. Using a rubber or silicone spatula, stir until the mixture is completely combined. Transfer it all to the lined baking dish. Press down with the spatula to spread it fairly evenly, then switch to a large, sturdy glass with a flat bottom (maybe a working jar or mason jar or what-have-you) and press down firmly all over, including the corners. You really want to pack it down (it's ok if you hear some crunching noises). Lastly, use your hands to ensure that it's evenly compacted.
• Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each one. Don't overdo it. The chocolate is done when it's about 90% melted-keep stirring off the heat and the pieces should completely dissolve. (Alternately, you can use melt it in a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water.)
• Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter-crispy mixture. Use a clean spatula to spread it evenly all over. Make some pretty chocolate swooshes if you'd like. Sprinkle the remaining pecans on top, followed by the salt.
• Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to a day. To slice, carefully grab both sides of the parchment paper and lift it out of the baking dish. Use a sharp chef's knife to make 4 even columns and 4 even rows-to minimize the risk of cracking the chocolate, carefully apply even pressure from above the knife to press straight down, rather than sawing from one edge across.
• These bars will keep well at room temperature for up to 1 week, or for several months in the freezer. Store in an air-tight container either way.

COCOA KRISPIE TREATS WITH PEANUT BUTTER

Steps:

• Spray a medium casserole dish (approx. 8" x 13") or baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or coat it with butter.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
• Add the marshmallows and chocolate chips and stir until completely melted.
• Remove the mixture from the heat and add the Cocoa Krispies. Stir until all of the cereal is coated.
• Pour the mixture into the casserole dish.
• Spray a spatula with nonstick cooking spray and use it to press down the Cocoa Krispie mixture.
• While the mixture is still warm, sprinkle the peanut butter chips on top and press them down into the mixture. Some of them may melt around the edges, but that's fine. It will help them stay put.
• Cool for approximately 30 minutes.
• Cut into 2" x 3" rectangles. Serve and enjoy!

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER CRISPIES
