Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, blend together peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
- Fold in the crushed cereal until the mixture is well combined.
- Form the mixture into small stick shapes, about 3 inches long, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil, stirring every 30 seconds to ensure it doesn't burn.
