How to Make A Twist On Rice Krispie Treats

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (113g) of light corn syrup and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  3. Once at a rolling boil, continue to boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat immediately.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup (120g) creamy peanut butter until well combined.
  6. Add 6 cups (450g) Rice Krispies cereal and stir gently until evenly coated.
  7. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter.
  8. Press the cereal mixture firmly into the prepared pan.
  9. In a separate small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (60g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup (30g) milk chocolate chips over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  10. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture and spread evenly.
  11. Let cool completely at room temperature.
  12. Once the chocolate has hardened, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set completely before cutting into squares.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
