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
- ¼ cup (60 g/2.1 oz) unsalted butter
- 2 tbsps (30 g/1 oz) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (100 g/3.5 oz) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml/2 fl oz) light corn syrup or honey
Instructions
- Melt Base: Combine peanut butter, butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate Cereal: Remove from heat and gently fold Rice Krispies into the warm liquid, ensuring complete and even coating of each cereal piece.
- Shape Mixture: Spread the coated cereal onto parchment paper, pressing and smoothing into a precise rectangular shape using hand pressure or a rolling pin.
- Chocolate Layer: Microwave chocolate chips and butter in short intervals, stirring between each to create a glossy, smooth chocolate mixture.
- Layer and Roll: Spread melted chocolate over the Rice Krispies rectangle, then carefully roll from the shorter edge into a tight cylindrical form using the parchment paper as a guide.
- Chill and Set: Wrap the rolled log completely in parchment paper and refrigerate for at least one hour to firm and stabilize the dessert.
- Serve: Remove from refrigerator and slice into half-inch rounds, revealing the beautiful layered interior ready to be enjoyed.
Notes
Melt Ingredients Carefully: Control heat to prevent burning or separating peanut butter mixture, ensuring smooth, even consistency without scorching.
Maintain Consistent Pressure: Use even, gentle pressure when rolling to create tight, uniform cylindrical shape without cracking or breaking the delicate layers.
Chill Thoroughly: Refrigerate at least one hour to allow chocolate and peanut butter layers to set completely, enhancing structural integrity and flavor melding.
Customize Dietary Options: Swap traditional ingredients with gluten-free Rice Krispies, dairy-free chocolate, or natural peanut butter for alternative dietary needs without compromising texture or taste.
