Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams milk chocolate chips
- 50 grams butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and butter. Melt the mixture using a double boiler or in the microwave, heating in 30-second increments and stirring each time until smooth.
3. Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
4. Gradually fold the rice cereal into the chocolate mixture, ensuring all the cereal pieces are evenly coated.
5. Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down gently but firmly using a spatula or the back of a spoon to create an even surface.
6. Allow the mixture to cool completely. To speed up the process, place the dish in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until the bars are firm and set.
7. Once the bars have hardened, lift them out of the dish using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 equal-sized bars.
8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
