Chocolatey cereal bites full of toffee and coconut. Takes minutes to make and come to think of it, will probably take mere minutes to eat too!
I've read other food bloggers who have this problem too: chocolate goodies do not photograph well! I agree, it's hard to make a brown blob look appealing. It is what it is, these don't look great, but they do taste great - hits that chocolate and that crunchy craving. I guess it's good to stand by the old adage of don't judge by appearances!
Crispy crunchy chewy chocolatey bites (aka Saturday Night Chocolatey Nibbles)
1 cup chocolate chips
2 cups crisp rice cereal
1/2 cup toffee bits
1-2 tbsp coconut flakes (depending on flavour and chewiness preference)
Melt chocolate chips on 50% power in a medium microwave safe bowl for 2-3 minutes; checking and stirring after each minute. Stop microwaving once most of the chips melt after stirring through.
Quickly add the cereal, toffee bits and coconut flakes and stir well to combine.
Mound by generous heaping tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet or large plate lined with parchment/wax paper. Alternatively, press into a square cake pan lined with parchment.
Cool in the fridge for about 1/2 hour, maybe 45 minutes for the square pan.
If pressed into the square cake pan, on a chopping board, carefully cut into portions (you choose the size!) with a sharp knife. Store on the counter in a covered container.
Alternatively: eat it straight from the bowl; but they do taste better and the crunch is more dramatic after cooling.
Yield: It's up to you how many you want make and how big you make each portion to share or hoard...umm, I mean save.
Don't forget, you get to lick the spoon! Enjoy!
