Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 cups rice krispies cereal
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Measure all ingredients carefully and line a square baking pan with parchment paper to ease removal of the bars later.
- Melt the White Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt white chocolate chips and butter using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Combine Melted Mixture with Rice Krispies: Pour the melted white chocolate and butter mixture over the rice krispies in a large bowl and gently fold with a spatula until cereal is evenly coated.
- Add the Raspberries: Fold in the raspberries delicately to avoid crushing, allowing the tart flavor to complement the sweetness.
- Set the Mixture in the Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing gently to form an even, light layer without compressing too much.
- Chill the Bars: Refrigerate the pan for at least 30 minutes to let the bars fully set and firm up.
- Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper to lift the bars from the pan, slice into squares or rectangles, and serve.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen raspberries; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess moisture before adding.
- Press the mixture gently into the pan to preserve the crisp texture of the cereal.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm.
- For added texture, consider folding in chopped nuts or seeds.
- White chocolate can be substituted with regular or dark chocolate for variation.
