Main Ingredients
- 6 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (dark or milk chocolate can be used)
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (optional, enhances flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate and peanut butter mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Mix the cereal: Place the crispy rice cereal in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine cereal with chocolate mixture: Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the rice cereal. Gently fold the mixture using a spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Coat with powdered sugar: Add the powdered sugar and salt (if using) into a large resealable plastic bag. Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the bag in batches and shake well until the pieces are fully coated with the powdered sugar.
- Cool and set: Spread the coated Rice Krispies on parchment paper or a baking sheet to cool and set for about 5 minutes or until firm.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, break into clusters if needed and serve immediately or store in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Notes
- You can substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for different flavors.
- For a healthier twist, use natural peanut butter and reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
- Ensure to stir the chocolate and peanut butter mixture well to avoid burning during melting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Peanut butter can be swapped with sunflower seed butter to make this recipe nut-free.
