Main Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring well after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
- Add Vanilla and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the melted mixture to enhance the flavors and create a balanced sweetness.
- Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the melted mixture, stirring continuously to ensure a thick and well-combined batter without lumps.
- Fold in Rice Krispies: Gently fold the Rice Krispies cereal into the batter, making sure they are evenly coated without crushing the cereal too much to maintain crispiness.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray, forming cookie shapes. Flatten slightly if desired.
- Chill to Set: Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour or until the cookies are firm and set.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove the cookies from the fridge and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for variation.
- For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruit.
- If white chocolate chips are not available, you can use white chocolate bars chopped finely.
- These cookies should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and texture.
- Allow cookies to come to room temperature for a few minutes before eating for softer bite.
