These Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats are gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and so EASY! With only 10 minutes prep time and the perfect combo of peanut butter + chocolate with an almost fudge-like result, they are sure to be a hit. I have been making these since I was a teenager and do so every year for Christmas. I love that they are no-bake with only 5 ingredients. A simple recipe for kids or someone new to baking to make with success!
I usually use Enjoy Life dairy-free chocolate chips, though you an use something like Hu hunks if you want a chocolate chip without refined sugar. And it works great with both ghee or a vegan butter like Miyokos. They store well in the fridge or on the counter once chilled. Enjoy!
