Irresistible Peanut Butter Honey Bars

There is nothing better than the classic pairing of chocolate and peanut butter. Except for peanut butter, chocolate and honey! This gluten-free treat, is perfect for pairing with your mid-morning coffee. Try keeping them in the freezer or fridge before serving, by cutting them into portions and wrapping them individually with plastic wrap.

225 g / 1 cup Crystal Margarine, melted
150 g / 3 cups Puffed rice cereal

450 g / 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
55 g / 1 tbsp Crystal margarine
30 ml / 2 tbsp Honey

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the Crystal margarine, rice cereal, confectioners’ sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended.







2. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9×13 inch pan, that is lined with parchment or plastic wrap.



3. In a metal bowl over simmering water, melt the chocolate chips with the Crystal margarine and honey, stirring occasionally until smooth.



4. Spread over the prepared peanut butter, crispy rice crust, making it nice and level. If you would like, garnish with some chopped and toasted peanuts.



5. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares, bars or even triangles…

Chefs Notes

• If you love peanuts as much as we do, add a cup of chopped and roasted peanuts in with the rice cereal, for extra crunch.
