Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Mixture
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (such as Jif)
Crispy Base
- 5 cups rice krispy cereal
Coating
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Combine with Cereal: Pour the rice krispy cereal into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal and stir until all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
- Form Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Using a cookie or ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the coated cereal mixture onto the lined sheet to form clusters that hold together well.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the clusters to harden and set completely.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: Once the clusters are firm, transfer them into a large resealable freezer bag. Add the powdered sugar to the bag, seal it, and shake vigorously until the clusters are evenly coated with powdered sugar.
- Store and Serve: Keep the clusters refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain their crisp texture.
- Enjoy: Serve chilled as a sweet, crunchy snack or dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the clusters are completely cooled and hardened before coating with powdered sugar to prevent clumping.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or any nut butter of your choice for a variation.
- Use wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking on the baking sheet.
- Store the clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For an extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips to the cereal mixture.
