Ingredients
- 300 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line a square 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting later.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and honey.
Step 3
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Add the crispy rice cereal and gently fold it into the chocolate mixture until evenly coated. If using mini marshmallows, fold them in at this stage.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly, pressing gently with a spatula to level the top.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or colorful sprinkles on top for added texture and decoration.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.
Step 9
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars from the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal-sized pieces.
Step 10
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
