Crispy Rice Candy
A sweet, crunchy treat made with crispy rice cereal bound by a sticky syrup or chocolate. Often shaped into bars or bites, it’s a nostalgic, kid-friendly snack or dessert.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 2 pounds white chocolate, chopped
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine cereal, peanuts, marshmallows and peanut butter. Stir until evenly mixed.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, or in a double boiler, cook chocolate until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth. Stir chocolate into cereal mixture. Mixture will be slightly runny.
- Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper. Let set until firm, 2 hours. Store in an airtight container.
