Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips or Melting Chocolate
  • 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Optional Toppings

  • Sprinkles
  • Crushed Nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • Cocoa Powder

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the Chocolate and Butter
    Gently melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, stirring frequently to avoid burning and ensure a smooth blend.
  2. Step 2: Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla
    Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until fully combined, creating a glossy and rich chocolate mixture.
  3. Step 3: Mix in Rice Krispies
    Pour the rice cereal into the chocolate mixture and fold gently, coating each crisp thoroughly without crushing.
  4. Step 4: Shape the Balls
    Lightly grease your hands with butter or oil and scoop the mixture into small bite-sized balls, pressing firmly to hold their shape but not too hard.
  5. Step 5: Chill and Set
    Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm and chewy.

Notes

  • Measure precisely to achieve the perfect consistency for shaping.
  • Allow melted chocolate to cool slightly before mixing with cereal to avoid sogginess.
  • Use fresh, crispy Rice Krispies for best texture.
  • Chill thoroughly to help balls hold their shape and meld flavors.
  • Adjust the amount of cereal to prefer crunchier or softer balls.
