Add peanut butter for a delicious flavor combination. Explore different kinds of cereal to create a more unique bun. Mix in candies, nuts, or marshmallows for an extra-special flavor."
Depending on your preference, use 1/4 cup (37.5 grams) of dark chocolate or more the next time you make Rice Krispie buns. You could even use dark chocolate for the entire cup (150 grams) if you prefer. Don’t be afraid to use flavored chocolates, too. Mint, raspberry, or caramel chocolates would all add a unique flavor element to your Rice Krispie buns. After the buns are made, melt down 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 44 mL) of white chocolate. Put the melted chocolate into a resealable plastic bag, snip off one corner with a pair of scissors, and drizzle it overtop of the treats. If you really love white chocolate, you could always make a batch of Rice Krispie buns entirely out of it instead of milk chocolate. Use the smooth variety, or choose the chunky kind for some added crunch in your next batch of Rice Krispie buns. Simply add 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 44 mL) of peanut butter to the chocolate and butter when you’re melting them down, and then assemble the buns as you usually would. If you’re making the buns for a party, make sure no one has a peanut allergy. Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Chex, Cocoa Krispies, Golden Grahams, and plenty of other cereals would make a great base for your next batch of buns. Simply sub out the 4 cups (100 grams) of Rice Krispies for the same amount of an alternate cereal. You could have a bun making party, where everyone brings their cereal of choice to make a batch. Then everyone can swap and try other varieties of the classic Rice Krispie bun. Add anywhere from 1/4 cup (50 grams) to 1/2 cup (100 grams) of your favorite candy, chopped nut, or mini-marshmallows. Put them into the mix when you add the Rice Krispies so they get coated with chocolate and incorporated along with the cereal. Chocolate- or peanut-based candies would go really well with this treat, but don’t be afraid to try out more unconventional add-ins, like gummy worms or Red Hots!
