Instructions

1

Prepare peanut butter mixture

In a saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter, honey, and butter. Stir until melted and smooth.

Pro tip: Ensure the mixture doesn't boil to maintain a creamy consistency.

2

Mix in cereal

Remove from heat and fold in the crisp rice cereal until fully coated.

Pro tip: Work quickly to ensure even coverage.

3

Shape the log

Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper and shape it into a log. Wrap tightly and chill for 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Use damp hands to prevent sticking.

4

Melt the chocolate

In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and coconut oil, stirring until smooth.

Pro tip: Avoid water contact with chocolate to prevent seizing.

5

Coat the log

Unwrap the chilled log and place it on a wire rack. Pour chocolate over the log, ensuring even coverage.

Pro tip: Place a tray under the rack to catch excess chocolate.

6

Final chill

Chill the coated log in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Pro tip: For a glossy finish, don't disturb the chocolate while it sets.
