Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the butter and chocolate chips. Start by gently melting the butter and chocolate chips together in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth and fully combined, making sure not to burn the chocolate.
  2. Step 2: Add sweetener and vanilla. Once melted, remove from heat and quickly stir in honey (or corn syrup) and vanilla extract. This will add both sweetness and a lovely depth of flavor to your cookie base.
  3. Step 3: Mix in the Rice Krispies. Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the chocolate mixture and stir gently but thoroughly until every crisp is coated evenly with chocolate goodness.
  4. Step 4: Shape the cookies. Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press lightly to form rounded cookie shapes.
  5. Step 5: Chill and set. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the cookies to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh Rice Krispies cereal for best texture and crunch.
  • Melt chocolate and butter over low heat to avoid burning or seizing.
  • Work quickly to shape cookies as the mixture hardens fast.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie size and even chilling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
