Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar-free white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 2 cups sugar-free crispy rice cereal or crushed nut clusters
Mix-Ins
- 1/2 cup sugar-free mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies or festive sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Melt Ingredients: Gently melt the white chocolate chips and peanut butter (or almond butter) together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Add Cereals and Marshmallows: Stir in the sugar-free crispy rice cereal (or crushed nut clusters) along with the sugar-free mini marshmallows, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the melted mixture.
- Spread Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined pan and spread it evenly, pressing lightly to compact the squares.
- Top with Festive Toppings: Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies or festive sprinkles evenly over the top to add a holiday touch and extra crunch.
- Chill and Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill until the squares are firm, about 1-2 hours, then slice into 16 individual bars for serving.
Notes
- You can swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter to change the flavor profile.
- For a keto-friendly version, use chopped nuts instead of crispy cereal to keep the carb count low.
- These squares are excellent for gifting during holidays due to their festive look and easy portability.
