Notes
- Regular rice krispie cereal is NOT gluten free unfortunately. Therefore, I used Real Cereal Company!
- Do not burn the peanut butter and honey. Once it is creamy, stop microwaving.
- In addition, be careful microwaving the chocolate chips and peanut butter.
- Allow the chocolate coating to fully harden before eating.
- These bars are best eaten within 48 hours for maximum crispiness. However, store at room temperature for up to 4 days.
