Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (90 g / 3.17 ounces) Rice Krispies cereal
- ½ cup (120 g / 4.23 ounces) creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup (60 g / 2.12 ounces) unsalted butter
Sweeteners:
- ½ cup (100 g / 3.53 ounces) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fluid ounces) light corn syrup or honey
Chocolate Layer:
- 1 cup (175 g / 6.17 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons (30 g / 1.06 ounces) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare a smooth, luxurious peanut butter mixture by gently heating peanut butter, butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan until fully combined and glossy. Remove from heat and fold in Rice Krispies, ensuring each crisp morsel is thoroughly coated.
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a clean work surface. Transfer the peanut butter and Rice Krispies mixture onto the paper, using gentle pressure to create an even, rectangular landscape approximately 12×8 inches thick.
- Craft the chocolate layer by slowly melting chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir periodically to achieve a silky, uniform consistency with no lumps.
- Pour the molten chocolate over the Rice Krispies rectangle, spreading it carefully to create an even, tempting layer. Allow the chocolate to slightly cool and set for 3-4 minutes, maintaining its spreadable texture.
- Utilize the parchment paper as a guide, delicately roll the rectangle from the shorter edge into a compact, tight log. Apply gentle, consistent pressure to ensure a uniform shape.
- Encase the rolled dessert in the parchment paper, securing the edges. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 60-90 minutes until the roll becomes firm and sliceable.
- Once chilled, unwrap the roll and slice into elegant rounds approximately 1/2-inch thick, revealing the beautiful swirled layers of chocolate and peanut butter.
Notes
- Choose high-quality chocolate chips for a richer, more decadent flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Use smooth peanut butter to ensure a creamy, consistent texture throughout the Rice Krispies layer.
- Chilling the roll helps it maintain its shape and allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.
- For a gluten-free version, double-check that your Rice Krispies are certified gluten-free, as some brands may contain traces of wheat.
