Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (I used Jif)
  • 5 cups Rice Krispy cereal
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  2. Mix with Cereal: Pour the Rice Krispy cereal into a large mixing bowl, then pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Stir thoroughly until all the cereal is evenly coated.
  3. Form Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Using a cookie or ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the coated cereal mixture onto the sheet to create clusters.
  4. Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes or until the clusters are firm and set.
  5. Coat with Powdered Sugar: Once the clusters are set, transfer them into a large zip-top freezer bag, add the powdered sugar, close the bag securely, and shake well to evenly coat the clusters with powdered sugar.
  6. Store and Serve: Keep the clusters chilled until ready to serve. Enjoy these sweet, crunchy bites!

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for smooth mixing and binding.
  • For easier portioning, use an ice cream or cookie scoop to form the clusters.
  • Make sure the clusters are fully set before coating with powdered sugar to avoid melting and clumping.
  • Store clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • These clusters are best consumed within a week for optimal taste and texture.
