Description
A chewy, chocolatey treat made with caramel, crispy rice cereal, and melted chocolate, reminiscent of the classic Star Crunch snack.
Ingredients
- 1 (11 oz) bag soft caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp milk or heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the caramels, butter, and milk together, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and fully combined.
- Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated with the chocolate-caramel mixture.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon if desired, to resemble the classic Star Crunch shape.
- Allow to cool at room temperature until set, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- You can microwave the caramel mixture in 30-second increments if preferred.
