Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 3 cups Crispy rice cereal
Instructions
Grease an 8x8-inch pan or line it with parchment paper. Set it aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the granulated sugar, milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter. Mix until the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the saucepan and gently fold the mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated with the fudge mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared 8x8-inch pan. Use a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture down evenly and compact it.
Allow the Fudge Krispies to set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once set, cut the Fudge Krispies into 12 squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
