CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CRISPY BARS



Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Bars image

These chocolate peanut butter crispy bars are like modern-day scotcheroos! This recipe is easy to make with wholesome pantry ingredients, and it's naturally sweetened with honey instead of corn syrup. Keep in mind that these no-bake treats require 2 hours in the refrigerator to set. Recipe yields 16 small treats from one 8-inch square pan (or double the recipe to fill a 9 by 13-inch pan).

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups brown rice crisps*
1 1/4 cups whole pecans, chopped, divided
¾ cup creamy peanut butter (plus a pinch of salt if your peanut butter is unsalted)
½ cup honey
1 ½ cups (9 ounces) chocolate chips*
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt or 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

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.

PECAN CHOCOLATE CHIP RICE CRISPY SQUARES



Pecan Chocolate Chip Rice Crispy Squares image

I put this together this morning because I was craving something relatively healthy but still bordering on decadent. I think this fit the bill perfectly. Don't put these in the fridge to cool, let them cool in the air if it's not too hot in your house. Once these are cold they are hard to cut into pieces. Once you cut them into squares store in the fridge.
