Ingredients
  

For the Fudge Base:
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips (one 10.5 to 11.5-ounce bag)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural; use brands like Jif or Skippy)
  • 1 cup crispy rice cereal (gluten-free option available)
For the Chocolate Topping:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup crispy rice cereal

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 9x9 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Directions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan. Line your 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate and Peanut Butter. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Add the Crispy Rice Cereal. Fold in the crispy rice cereal until well-coated.
  4. Step 4: Pour into the Pan. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Step 5: Prepare the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Layer. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  6. Step 6: Pour the Chocolate Over the Base. Spread the melted chocolate over the fudge base.
  7. Step 7: Add More Crispy Rice Cereal. Sprinkle the remaining crispy rice cereal on top and gently press down.
  8. Step 8: Chill to Set. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
  9. Step 9: Slice and Serve. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure your bowl and utensils are completely dry to prevent white chocolate from seizing.
  • For a marbled effect, swirl the semi-sweet chocolate into the white mixture before chilling.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle sea salt on top before chilling!
