Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams white chocolate chips
- 150 grams peanuts (salted or unsalted, as preferred)
- 100 grams crispy rice cereal
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt (optional, if using unsalted peanuts)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This step usually takes about 2 minutes total.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using unsalted peanuts).
Fold in the peanuts and crispy rice cereal gently with a spatula, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the melted white chocolate.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Allow the Krispies to cool and harden completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting (about 15 minutes).
Once set, transfer the White Chocolate Peanut Krispies to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
