Rice Krispies Clusters Recipes

CHOCOLATE CRISPY RICE CLUSTERS

Steps:

• Line a mini-muffin pan with mini-muffin paper cups. Fill each cup about halfway with Rice Krispies. No real measurement required here.
• Carefully melt the chocolate chips (can also use bar chocolate for baking, candy melts would also work but already have a lot of added flavor thus taking away from the vanilla-cinnamon combo) either on stovetop or in the microwave. If microwaving, be VERY careful because culinary chocolate can burn if nuked too hard!
• When it's a nice stirring consistency, stir in the vanilla and cinnamon.
• While the chocolate is still hot, spoon over the Rice Krispies, coating them well.
• Gently re-microwave if mixture begins to stiffen.
• Freeze the pan for at least 2 hours prior to eating.

COCONUT KRISPY CHOCOLATE CLUSTERS

Steps:

• In a medium-large sized microwave-safe mixing bowl, microwave chocolate chips for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat microwaving at 30-second intervals until chocolate is melted and smooth (about 2-3 more times).
• Add Rice Krispies, coconut and salt to chocolate and gently stir and fold until thoroughly combined.
• Onto a large cookie sheet lined with waxed paper, spoon mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls.
• Allow to set at room temperature for 1 hour or until solid. I prefer refrigerating for about 30 minutes for faster, easier setting.
