Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (90 g / 3.17 oz) Rice Krispies cereal
- ½ cup (120 g / 4.23 oz) creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup (60 g / 2.12 oz) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (100 g / 3.53 oz) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) light corn syrup or honey
- 1 cup (175 g / 6.17 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsps (30 g / 1.06 oz) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Peanut Butter Base: Gently heat peanut butter, butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and fold in Rice Krispies, ensuring complete coverage of each crisp piece.
- Layering Foundation: Spread the coated Rice Krispies mixture onto a parchment-lined surface, pressing into a uniform rectangular shape approximately 12×8 inches thick.
- Chocolate Infusion: Melt chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency. Drizzle the molten chocolate evenly across the Rice Krispies base, allowing a brief cooling period to maintain spreadability.
- Precise Rolling: Using the parchment paper as a guide, carefully roll the rectangle from the shorter edge into a compact log. Apply consistent pressure to create a tight, uniform shape.
- Chilling and Setting: Wrap the rolled dessert completely in parchment paper, securing the edges. Refrigerate for 60-90 minutes until the roll becomes firm and easily sliceable.
- Final Presentation: Unwrap the chilled roll and slice into elegant 1/2-inch thick rounds, showcasing the beautiful chocolate and peanut butter swirled layers.
Notes
- Achieve Smooth Mixture: Gently heat peanut butter ingredients to prevent burning and create a glossy, even texture.
- Control Chocolate Consistency: Melt chocolate chips slowly in microwave, stirring frequently to avoid seizing or scorching.
- Ensure Tight Rolling: Use parchment paper as a guide, applying consistent pressure to create a compact, uniform log without air pockets.
- Optimize Chilling Time: Refrigerate for 60-90 minutes to allow proper setting, ensuring clean slices and defined chocolate-peanut butter swirls.
