Vegan PB&J with Rice Crispy

Vegan PB&J with Rice Crispy

This is such a great treat or even dessert with tea or coffee. The richness from the dark chocolate and combination of the peanut butter and blueberry jam for sweetness. A pinch of salt to curb the tartness and some rice crispy to keep it together and creamy.

I made this without knowing how it would really turn out. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Give this a go and let me know in the comments how you liked it. A little patience putting it together but the end result is worth the wait.

Equipment

  • Double boiler or pot with stainless bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Dark Chocolate 70%
  • 4 tbsp peanut butter any brand
  • 2 tbsp blue berry jam any brand
  • 2 tbsp crushed rice crispy a few extra non crushed for topping
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Start with your double boiler and add 1 cup of the dark chocolate.
  • Mix together the peanut butter, jam, vanilla, rice crispy powder and salt in a separate bowl and set aside.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, pour it in some paper cup holders about half way.
  • Now place the chocolate cup holders and the peanut butter mixture both in the fridge for about 30 min.
  • Remove from fridge. The chocolate should be firm or hard now. The peanut butter should still be soft.
  • Start heating up the last cup of dark chocolate in the double broiler.
  • Take small bits of the peanut butter mixture and roll into a small ball about the size of a dime.
  • Place the ball onto the centre of the solid chocolate cup and press flat. Leaving it a bit smaller than the chocolate circumference. Do this to all of them.
  • Once all are done pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling on each. Make sure it is completely covered and higher than the filling.
  • Add a pinch of salt and a few whole rice crisps on each topping of chocolate.
  • Place in the fridge for 30 minutes and then they are ready to serve.
