Categories     Dessert

Time 12m

Yield 12 clusters, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup semisweet baking chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash cinnamon
1 cup Rice Krispies (approx, see directions)

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh marshmallows: Fresh marshmallows will melt more evenly and give your clusters a better flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the marshmallows: Overcooked marshmallows will become tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal quickly: Once the marshmallows are melted, stir in the Rice Krispies cereal quickly so that the marshmallows don't have time to harden.
  • Use a large bowl: You'll need a large bowl to mix the marshmallows and Rice Krispies cereal. A small bowl will make it difficult to stir the ingredients together evenly.
  • Grease your hands: If you find that the marshmallows are sticking to your hands, grease them with a little butter or cooking spray. This will make it easier to handle the marshmallows and form the clusters.
  • Be patient: It takes a little time to make Rice Krispies clusters. But if you're patient and follow the steps carefully, you'll be rewarded with delicious and crispy clusters.

Conclusion:

Rice Krispies clusters are a classic treat that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages.
