Easy Milk Chocolate Crunchy Bites
Yields: 16 crunchies
Nutrition: 79 kcal, fat 4 g, carbs 2.2 g, fiber 0.2 g, protein 1.2 g
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or morsels
- 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal (or similar puffed rice cereal)
- Colored sprinkles or nonpareils (optional, for decoration)
Directions:
- Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
- Stir the chips, then microwave again for another 30 seconds. Continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If needed, heat in additional 10–15 second bursts, stirring between each, to avoid burning.
- Gently crush the Rice Krispies with your hands or a spatula — you want them slightly broken but still crisp. Avoid turning them into powder; small pieces keep the signature crunch.
- Fold the cereal into the melted chocolate until the cereal is evenly coated. Stir gently to keep the cereal pieces intact.
- Use a teaspoon to drop small mounds of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper or parchment. Aim for about 16 portions for bite-sized treats.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops with colored sprinkles or nonpareils while the chocolate is still soft to add a festive touch.
- Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set and the bites are firm.
- Remove from the fridge and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them crisp and fresh.
