Scoop the creamy peanut butter into a tall, narrow glass until it is sufficiently full for dipping. Stir the peanut butter with a spoon until it achieves a smooth, pourable consistency.
⏱️ 5 min

Break the two large milk chocolate bars into smaller pieces. Place these chocolate pieces into a 2-cup measuring cup. Melt the chocolate using your preferred method (e.g., microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or a double boiler) until smooth and pourable. Stir the melted chocolate to ensure a uniform consistency.

Pour the shelled, roasted, and split peanuts into a small, shallow bowl, creating a bed for coating.
⏱️ 2 min

Hold a skewer-inserted rice cake and fully immerse it into the prepared peanut butter in the tall glass. Lift the rice cake, allowing any excess peanut butter to drip back into the glass.
⏱️ 5 min

Immediately after dipping in peanut butter, gently press the peanut butter-coated rice cake into the bowl of peanuts, ensuring the peanuts adhere to the entire surface of the rice cake.

Place the peanut butter and peanut-coated rice cakes (still on their skewers) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for all 6 rice cakes.
⏱️ 3 min

Take a rice cake that has already been coated with peanut butter and peanuts (still on its skewer). Fully immerse this rice cake into the melted chocolate. Lift the rice cake, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the measuring cup.
⏱️ 5 min
- 9
Place the chocolate-coated rice cakes (still on their skewers) onto another baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat for all 6 chocolate-coated rice cakes.
⏱️ 3 min

Allow the coated rice cakes to set and harden. This can be done at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster setting.
⏱️ 60 min
- 11
Once the coatings have set and hardened, carefully remove the wooden skewers from the rice cakes. Place one of the fully coated rice cakes on the parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the round rice cake into several bar-shaped pieces (approximately 5-6 slices per rice cake).
