Published 8/25/2023 • Updated 9/7/2023 Peanut butter cups are a Fit Foodie Find specialty and this variation has to be my favorite. I’ve made this exact recipe at least 10 times over the course of the years and it always hits the spot. They’re similar to our healthy peanut butter cups, but have rice crispy cereal in them to give them a nice crunch.
What is in these peanut butter crunch cups?
Peanut butter: make sure to use a drippy, all-natural peanut butter, if possible. Coconut oil: coconut oil gives it that fudgey texture once they’re frozen. Honey: these are sweetened with honey, but I’ve made them with maple syrup too. Rice Krispies Cereal: crispy rice cereal is what gives them a crunch.
Ingredient Swaps and Variations
Nut Butter: If you have a peanut allergy you can absolutely swap the peanut butter for a different nut butter such as almond or cashew. Make it Chocolate: Try using a chocolate crispy rice cereal for a chocolate variation and heck, add some cocoa powder too to make it extra chocolatey. Sweetener: You’ve got options when it comes to sweeteners. We used honey, but maple syrup and agave work too.
Storage
We recommend storing these in the freezer. Once they’ve frozen solid, you can remove them from the muffin tin and transfer them into an airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, let them thaw for a few minutes and enjoy!
