Cocoa Crunch Party Cups
Cocoa flavors these little cereal cups without melting chocolate. A sticky peanut-butter mixture binds the crisp rice, and a short chill helps it hold together. Serve in paper cups so small hands have something clean to hold.
Before you begin · grown-up check
The adult checks labels and stays nearby; no chocolate melting, heat or blades are needed.
- A grown-up checks ingredient labels, the workspace and the young cook’s readiness before starting. No heat is needed; the grown-up stays nearby.
- Adult checks cereal and peanut-butter labels and sets paper cups on a plate.
Ages are a starting guide. A grown-up checks your readiness and stays nearby. Follow the actor label on every step.

The skill you’re learning
Mix the sticky base completely before adding dry cereal. Otherwise some puffs stay bare while others get a thick clump.
Try one change
Use smooth sunflower-seed butter instead of peanut butter; the adult checks its label for relevant allergens.
Serving & storing
A grown-up puts leftovers in a covered shallow container at 40°F or colder within 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F. Use within 3 days.
