Ingredients
- 3 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and peanut butter (if using).
Step 3
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 4
Add the salt to the melted chocolate mixture and stir well.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, pour the crispy rice cereal over the melted chocolate mixture. If using mini marshmallows, add them now.
Step 6
Gently fold the ingredients together using a rubber spatula, ensuring the cereal and marshmallows (if added) are fully coated with chocolate.
Step 7
Use a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop to drop cluster-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Allow the clusters to cool and set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or speed up the process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 9
Once the clusters are firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
