Notes

STORING LEFTOVERS: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 14 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
Prep tips: Mix dark chocolate through the peanut rice crisp mixture and press into the dish. Makes the bars hold together better than with the chocolate used as a topping.
Allergies: For a nut-free version: Swap peanut butter for tahini or seed butter.
Easy ingredient swaps: Swap peanut butter for nut butter of choice.
Additional boosters: Boost with 1 tbsp of chia seeds.
