GF White Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispies

A no-bake bar with a grown-up finish: peanut butter krispie squares blanketed in white chocolate, salty-sweet and gone by Tuesday. The quiet catch is the cereal — classic Rice Krispies contain malt (barley), so a labeled gluten-free crisp rice is essential.

Yield: 16 squares · Time: 20 min + set

Ingredients

• 4 cups (100 g) gluten-free crispy rice cereal
• 3/4 cup (195 g) creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup (170 g) honey
• 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Pinch of salt
• 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate, melted
• Flaky salt for the top

Directions

1. Warm the peanut butter, honey, and brown sugar until pourable; stir in vanilla and salt.
2. Fold in the cereal until every puff is coated.
3. Press firmly into a lined 8×8 pan with damp hands.
4. Pour the white chocolate over and spread to the edges; finish with flaky salt.
5. Set 1 hour at room temperature, then slice.

Pro tip: Mainstream crisp rice cereal is malt-sweetened — the gluten-free label on the box is doing real work in this recipe.

Gluten-Free Notes

A quick label-reading reminder: scan ingredient lists for wheat, barley, rye, and malt, and look for a gluten-free claim on anything processed. When a label is unclear, the manufacturer’s website usually settles it.
