Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons melted unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
- 3/4 cup crispy rice cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the muffin tin: Spray a mini muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent the chocolate cups from sticking after freezing.
- Melt the chocolate: Place the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melting and smooth.
- Add butter or coconut oil: Stir the melted unsalted butter or coconut oil into the smooth chocolate to create a glossy and slightly thinner texture for easier mixing.
- Mix in crispy rice cereal: Fold the crispy rice cereal into the chocolate mixture, ensuring every bit of cereal is coated evenly for consistent crunch in each cup.
- Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the chocolate-cereal mixture into each mini muffin cup and gently press it down to pack the mixture so the cups hold their shape.
- Freeze until firm: Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Once firm, carefully remove each crunch cup from the tin to serve.
Notes
- You can substitute unsalted butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- Ensure the chocolate is completely melted but not overheated to maintain a smooth consistency.
- Use mini muffin tins for perfectly sized crunchy cups, but silicone molds can also work for easy removal.
- Store the crunch cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for extended freshness.
- Optional: Add a pinch of sea salt on top before freezing for a sweet-salty twist.
