Categories     Dessert

Time 12m

Yield 12 clusters, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup semisweet baking chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash cinnamon
1 cup Rice Krispies (approx, see directions)

Steps:

  • Line a mini-muffin pan with mini-muffin paper cups. Fill each cup about halfway with Rice Krispies. No real measurement required here.
  • Carefully melt the chocolate chips (can also use bar chocolate for baking, candy melts would also work but already have a lot of added flavor thus taking away from the vanilla-cinnamon combo) either on stovetop or in the microwave. If microwaving, be VERY careful because culinary chocolate can burn if nuked too hard!
  • When it's a nice stirring consistency, stir in the vanilla and cinnamon.
  • While the chocolate is still hot, spoon over the Rice Krispies, coating them well.
  • Gently re-microwave if mixture begins to stiffen.
  • Freeze the pan for at least 2 hours prior to eating.

  • Allow the clusters to cool completely before storing them. This will help them to set and prevent them from melting.
  • Store the clusters in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
