What Are Crispy Cups?
Crispy Cups are small, no-bake chocolate treats made with peanut butter, puffed rice, and oats. Think of them as a cross between a rice krispie treat and a peanut butter cup — crunchy, chewy, and deliciously rich. The combination of textures and flavors makes them perfect for both kids and adults, and because they’re portioned into small cups, they’re convenient for snacking or gifting.

Make It Vegan: Use dairy-free chocolate and coconut oil instead of butter.

How to Store Crispy Cups
Store your crispy cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep them chilled to maintain their shape and crunch.
How to Freeze Crispy Cups
These cups freeze beautifully! Place them in a single layer on a tray and freeze until solid. Then, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 1 month. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature for 10–15 minutes — they’ll taste just as fresh and crunchy.
