Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rice cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 cup caramel candies or caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate and Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate and caramel together until smooth and fully combined, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Fold in Cereal: Gently fold the rice cereal into the melted chocolate and caramel mixture, ensuring all cereal pieces are evenly coated without crushing them.
  3. Chill to Set: Spoon the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicone mat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until the cookies are firm and set.

Notes

  • For easier mixing, slightly warm caramel so it blends smoothly with chocolate.
  • Use gluten-free rice cereal for a gluten-free version.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Optional: Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling for a salted caramel twist.
