🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Peanut butter: I used all-natural peanut butter. You could also use shelf-stable peanut butter.
- Sweetened condensed coconut milk: Adds a rich, sweet, creamy flavor. You could also use sweetened condensed oat milk.
- Rice crisp cereal: I used brown rice crisp cereal. You could also use white rice crisp cereal.
- Chocolate chips: You could also use dark chocolate baking chunks.
- Coconut oil: Helps the chocolate harder and adds a glossy shine. You could leave it out. You will need it for coating the baking dish though.
📖 Variations / Additions

🔪 Instructions
- Add peanut butter to a saucepan. Add sweetened condensed coconut milk. Cook until melted. Add salt.
- Add rice crisp cereal - I used brown rice crisp cereal. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour into a baking dish that's been greased with coconut oil. Pat down to condense the bars. Refrigerate 2-3 hours.
- Pour chocolate chips into a heat-safe bowl. Place over a saucepan that has a couple of inches of water in it. This will act as a double boiler. (If you have a double boiler, use that.)
- Melt the chocolate chips, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add coconut oil. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour over the peanut butter layer. Place in the fridge to set, about 2 hours.
💭 Tips
- It can be hard this time of year to find certain items in the grocery store, and with shipping delays, even harder. If you can't find sweetened condensed coconut milk you can use sweetened condensed oat milk. I tried both when making this recipe.
- You could also try homemade sweetened condensed coconut milk, which I don't yet have a recipe for, but there are plenty online.
👩🏻🍳 Recipe FAQs
