Melt the Chocolate & Peanut Butter
In a saucepan over low heat (or microwave in 30-second intervals), melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together, stirring constantly until smooth and combined.
Mix in the Cereal
Remove from heat. Stir in the Rice Krispies until evenly coated and fully mixed. Let cool slightly (about 1–2 minutes) so it’s easier to handle.
