Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 3 cups (90 g/3.2 oz) Rice Krispies cereal
- ½ cup (120 g/4.2 oz) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (175 g/6.2 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sweet & Binding Ingredients:
- ½ cup (100 g/3.5 oz) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml/2 fl oz) light corn syrup or honey
Butter Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 g/2.1 oz) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 g/1 oz) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Craft the foundational peanut butter component by gently melting peanut butter, butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the mixture transforms into a uniform, silky consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and fold Rice Krispies into the warm liquid, ensuring each cereal piece receives a thorough coating of the sweet, nutty mixture.
- Lay a pristine sheet of parchment paper on a clean, flat surface and carefully transfer the coated Rice Krispies, pressing and smoothing the mixture into a precise rectangular shape using gentle hand pressure or a rolling pin.
- Prepare the chocolate layer by gradually melting chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe vessel, pausing every 30 seconds to stir and prevent scorching until the mixture achieves a glossy, smooth texture.
- Delicately spread the molten chocolate across the Rice Krispies rectangle, allowing a brief resting period to slightly cool while maintaining a malleable consistency.
- Utilizing the parchment paper as a guiding tool, carefully roll the rectangle from its shorter edge, creating a compact, tight cylindrical form with smooth, even edges.
- Encase the completed roll entirely in the parchment paper and transfer to the refrigerator, allowing it to firm and set for a minimum of one hour.
- Once thoroughly chilled, extract the roll and slice into elegant, half-inch rounds, revealing the beautiful layered interior.
Notes
- Ensure peanut butter and butter are at room temperature for smoother melting and easier mixing.
- Use a spatula or offset knife to spread ingredients evenly, preventing thick or thin spots in the roll.
- For a gluten-free version, choose certified gluten-free Rice Krispies or crispy rice cereal alternatives.
- Experiment with different chocolate types like dark, milk, or white chocolate to customize flavor profiles.
