1. Melt the Base
In a medium saucepan (or microwave-safe bowl), gently melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter over low heat or in 20-second microwave bursts. Stir frequently until smooth and combined.
2. Sweeten the Deal
Remove from heat. Stir in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until it’s one velvety, glossy mixture.
3. Add the Crunch
Fold in your crushed graham crackers/biscuits, and if desired, toss in nuts, marshmallows, or even dried fruit.
4. Shape Your Cookies
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a lined baking sheet or into a silicone mold. Flatten gently if you want a cookie shape.
5. Chill Out
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm. For a quick chill, pop them in the freezer for 20–30 minutes.
