Ingredients

• 100 grams puffed rice cereal
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 30 ml light corn syrup
• 60 ml low-fat evaporated milk
• 20 grams unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 15 ml low-fat milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Spread the puffed rice cereal evenly across the prepared baking pan.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, low-fat evaporated milk, butter, and salt.

Step 4

Stir continuously as the mixture melts and comes to a gentle boil. Continue to cook for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 5

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool for a minute.

Step 6

Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the puffed rice in the baking pan. Use a spatula to gently press and spread it so that it coats all the cereal evenly.

Step 7

Let the caramel-covered cereal cool and set for about 10 minutes.

Step 8

In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips together with the low-fat milk over a pot of simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth.

Step 9

Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated puffed rice, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Allow the completed mixture to cool at room temperature until the chocolate is set, approximately 30 minutes.

Step 11

Once set, cut the toffee crisp into bars or squares and serve.
