Title: Fudge Krispies
Ingredients:
– 3 cups crispy rice cereal
– 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, extra chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, measure out the crispy rice cereal and set it aside. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
2. Using a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir the mixture continuously until everything is melted and smooth.
3. Once the chocolate mixture is completely melted and well combined, remove the saucepan from the heat. Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, stirring continuously to avoid any lumps.
4. Pour the chocolate mixture over the crispy rice cereal in the mixing bowl. Gently fold and stir the mixture until the cereal is evenly coated with the fudgy chocolate goodness.
5. Transfer the Fudge Krispies mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly into the dish.
6. If desired, sprinkle optional toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or extra chocolate chips over the top of the Fudge Krispies for added flavor and decoration.
7. Chill the Fudge Krispies in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has set and the bars are firm to the touch.
8. Once the Fudge Krispies are fully set, remove them from the refrigerator and lift them out of the baking dish using the parchment paper. Place them on a cutting board and slice into squares or bars of your preferred size.
9. Enjoy these delectable Fudge Krispies as a delightful snack, dessert, or homemade gift for friends and loved ones. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a chewy or extra firm texture, respectively.
