"A little bit of chocolate and cocoa goes a long way to give Rice Krispies treats a scrumptious new twist," says Gretchen Hickman of Galva, Illinois. "I especially like these bars because they are crisp, not sticky. They disappear in a flash whenever I serve them."

CHOCOLATE COVERED CEREAL

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups whole grain oat cereal, such as Cheerios
1 pound milk chocolate, tempered
4 cups corn flake cereal
1 pound dark chocolate, tempered

Steps:

  • For the oat cereal: Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the cereal in a large bowl. Pour about half of the tempered chocolate over the cereal and, using a rubber spatula, toss the cereal around to coat evenly. The chocolate will begin to set. When the first coating has set, pour in the remaining chocolate and again toss to coat evenly.
  • Working quickly while the chocolate is still pliable, scoop up small mounds of the cereal and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Set aside for about 30 minutes (or place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for no more than 10 minutes to speed the setting).
  • Layer the cereal clusters, separated by sheets of waxed paper, in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • For the corn flake cereal: Crunch up the cereal by hand, so as to break them up, but not pulverize them into crumbs. Add the crumbled cereal to the bowl of chocolate and toss to coat evenly.
  • Drop the cereal by rounded spoonfuls onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the sheet into the refrigerator to help the cornflake clusters set.
  • Package as you wish!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the cereal bars will taste. Use high-quality chocolate, cereal, and marshmallows.
  • Don't overcook the cereal bars. Overcooked cereal bars will be dry and crumbly. Cook them just until the marshmallows are melted and the cereal is evenly coated.
  • Let the cereal bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Store the cereal bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.
  • Get creative with your toppings. You can add nuts, dried fruit, or even candy to the cereal bars. Be creative and have fun!

Conclusion:

Holiday chocolate cereal bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. Plus, they can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these holiday chocolate cereal bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
