Calories: 218kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon salted butter at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles or sea salt optional
Instructions
- Line a 10x13" baking sheet with parchment paper Set aside.
- The key to melting chocolate in the microwave is to melt it very slowly. Place the dark chocolate and milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, such as a heavy glass bowl. Heat for 45 seconds and then add the butter and coconut oil. Mix well. Microwave for 30 seconds and mix. Then heat in 15 second intervals, mixing between each interval until the chocolate is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the white chocolate, nuts and crisp rice cereal.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the white chocolate, nuts and cereal. Mix to coat.
- Spread the chocolate mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. Spread the chocolate until it is about 1/4″ thick, or the thickness that you desire. Sprinkle the top with sprinkles, if desired. Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set for 30 minutes, or until completely set.
- Use a spatula to slide under the chocolate to loosen it from the parchment paper. Cut the chocolate into bars or break it into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
