Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams butterscotch chips
- 150 grams slivered almonds
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams crispy rice cereal
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds until lightly golden and aromatic, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the chocolate and butterscotch mixture in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. This should take about 1-2 minutes in total. Alternatively, you can melt the mixture in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method).
Stir in the pinch of salt and the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
Add the toasted almonds and crispy rice cereal to the chocolate mixture. Gently fold until the almonds and cereal are evenly coated in the chocolate.
Using a spoon, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Refrigerate the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes, or until the Chocolate Butterscotch Almond Crunch bites are firm and set.
Once set, transfer the bites to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Butterscotch Almond Crunch!
