Chocolate Peanut Puffs image

This is a variation of the chow mein clusters that you often see around Christmas time! It's easy to do with the cereal you have in your cupboard; in fact, that's how I invented the recipe! The Rice Krispies® make it reminiscent of a Nestle® Crunch bar.

Time 35m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
1 ½ cups butterscotch chips
½ cup milk chocolate chips
½ cup butterscotch chips
3 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)
2 cups salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Set up a double-boiler over low heat. Put baking sheets into freezer to cool them.
  • Combine 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cup butterscotch chips in the double-boiler and mix continuously until nearly melted, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butterscotch chips; continue to cook and stir until the chips are completely melted, about 10 minutes more. Fold rice cereal and salted peanuts into the melted chip mixture.
  • Remove baking sheets from freezer and cover each with a sheet of waxed paper. Remove chocolate mixture from heat and drop spoonfuls of it onto the waxed paper. Heap the cookies into tidy piles for visual appeal.
  • Put filled baking sheets into the fridge until the chocolate hardens, 15 to 20 minutes.
