Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup puffed rice cereal

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Workspace: Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. If you have silicone molds in a circular shape, feel free to use them for easy removal.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and your choice of honey or maple syrup. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

      Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the rolled oats and puffed rice cereal to the peanut butter mixture. If you're using mini chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, add those in as well. Mix everything thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.

        Shape the Circles: With clean, slightly damp hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and mold it into a round shape, creating a hole in the center to form a ring, similar to a doughnut. Repeat the process for the remaining mixture, placing each shaped ring on the prepared baking sheet or into silicone molds.

          Freeze: After shaping all the rings, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let them freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are solid and firm to the touch.

            Store or Serve: Once the rings are frozen, you can enjoy them right away or store them in an airtight container. They are best kept in the freezer and can remain fresh for up to 3 months.

              Enjoy: Take them straight from the freezer for a deliciously healthy snack that's perfect for a quick bite on the go!
