Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
  • 3 cups rice cereal
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Red and green sprinkles, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Lightly grease a standard muffin pan or line it with festive cupcake liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy. This step ensures your crackles keep their shape while cooling.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate chips and butter together until smooth and glossy, stirring frequently to avoid burning. This creamy foundation is key to binding the crisp ingredients.
  3. Mix in Cereal and Marshmallows: Once melted and combined, fold in the rice cereal and mini marshmallows. Stir gently but thoroughly so everything is coated evenly without crushing the cereal’s crunch.
  4. Spoon the Mixture into the Muffin Pan: Divide the mixture evenly among your prepared muffin cups, pressing down lightly to compact them while maintaining their light texture.
  5. Add Sprinkles and Chill: Sprinkle festive red and green decorations on top, then refrigerate the pan for at least an hour or until the crackles are firm and easy to remove.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for better melting and smoother texture.
  • Do not overmix to keep the cereal intact and maintain crunchiness.
  • Chill thoroughly to let the crackles set fully for easy removal and shape retention.
  • Line muffin pans with cupcake liners to ease removal and add a festive touch.
  • Store crackles in airtight containers to keep them crisp after chilling.
