Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (your choice)

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup puffed rice cereal

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, but delicious!)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Workspace: Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help prevent your treats from sticking. If you prefer, you can also use silicone molds that are shaped like circles or doughnuts for a fun presentation.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully blended.

      Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add in the rolled oats, puffed rice cereal, mini chocolate chips (if you're using them), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold everything together until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.

        Shape the Circles: With clean hands, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Then, use your fingers to create a hole in the center, shaping it into a ring that resembles a doughnut. Place each shaped circle on the prepared baking sheet or inside your silicone molds. Repeat until all the mixture is utilized.

          Freeze: Transfer the baking sheet or molds to the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the cereal rings are completely solid.

            Store or Serve: Once the circles are frozen, you can enjoy them right away or place them in an airtight container for easy storage. They can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months, making them a convenient snack option!

              Enjoy: For a delightful and nutritious treat, serve them straight from the freezer. They make perfect snacks for on-the-go or a sweet indulgence anytime!
