They’re perfect for a mid-afternoon treat, a sweet treat or even a birthday party. With just a few pantry staples and no baking required, these cups come together in no time—and everybody loves them. 
Prep Time 15 minutes
Setting 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Course Snack
Servings 12 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g chocolate (milk or dark – your choice, but I used milk for extra creaminess)
  • 200 g smooth peanut butter (use your favourite brand; make sure it's smooth!)
  • 40 g coconut oil or butter (for that silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture)
  • 75 g rice krispies ( substitute gluten free rice cereal to make gluten free) (for the ultimate crunch)
  • 50 g oats ( substitute gluten free oats to make gluten free) (adding a bit of chewiness and heartiness)

Instructions
 

  • Prep Your Tray
    Prepare a 12-hole muffin tray. Line it with paper cases if you prefer, as this makes cleanup even easier and gives the cups a nice, professional look.
  • Melt the Chocolate
    Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together. You can do this either in the microwave (30-second bursts, stirring in between) or in a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Add the Peanut Butter
    Mix in the peanut butter. If it’s a bit too thick or lumpy, pop the mixture back into the microwave for another 30 seconds to loosen it up. Stir until fully combined.
  • Fold in the Crunch
    Now, gently fold in the rice krispies and oats. Make sure everything is evenly coated in the chocolate-peanut butter mixture for the perfect blend of crunch and chew.
  • Scoop & Chill
    Scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin tray. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop for precision. Pop the tray into the fridge and let the cups set for about an hour.

Serving & Storage

  • Once set, your Crispy Cups are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days. They also freeze beautifully— store in a freezer-safe container for up to a month. Grab one straight from the freezer for a cold, crispy treat!
