Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups (90 g) Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 cup (120 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) light corn syrup or honey
For the chocolate layer:
- 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the peanut butter layer:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, butter, sugar, and corn syrup (or honey). Stir until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture:
- Place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper on a flat surface. Press the Rice Krispies mixture evenly into a rectangle, approximately 12×8 inches. Use a rolling pin or your hands to smooth it out.
- Make the chocolate layer:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Assemble the roll:
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the Rice Krispies rectangle. Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly but still remain pliable.
- Roll the dessert:
- Starting from the shorter side, carefully roll the rectangle into a tight log using the parchment paper to help lift and guide the roll. Place the roll seam-side down on the parchment.
- Chill and slice:
- Wrap the roll in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Once chilled, slice into 1/2-inch rounds and serve.
Notes
- Add mini marshmallows or chopped nuts to the Rice Krispies layer for extra texture.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle the chocolate layer with colorful sprinkles before rolling.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
