Y’all know by now that I love to hack recipes for a few reasons. 1. because I’d like to think I can make them better and 2. I know I can make them cheaper.
After my husband snuck in a few packages of Nestle Crunch bars into the shopping basket this week, I was determined to prove to him that homemade sweets were better. (Sorry Nestle!)
*Be Warned* that you can’t eat too much of these crispity chocolate crack bars or you will be running around like Honey Boo Boo on Go-Go Juice. (we were awake WAY past our bed time last night!)
Ingredients:
- 1 12 oz. package (2 cups) of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
Tools:
- large mixing bowl
- wooden spoon
- kid cheater (spatula for you folks who are too young to know what the hell that is)
- medium sized rectangular dish/cookie sheet
- wax paper
- sharp knife
- double boiler
Directions:
- In a double boiler melt chocolate over med-high heat until all chips are melted
- in a large mixing bowl add 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- add melted chocolate to mixing bowl
- stir until thoroughly mixed
- in a flat rectangular dish add mixture and cover with wax paper
- even out mixture and place in freezer for 30 minutes
- once cool, flip container and carefully cut into bars
- wrap bars and store in the freezer
That’s it! Crazy easy right? Now, the only problem I have is that the chocolate melts in your hands. Any tips you could share?
