Everyone always asks for the recipe! The candy is made in the microwave. No candy thermometer required! #candy #whitechocolate #peanuts
In a large bowl, combine cereal, peanuts and marshmallows.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and peanut butter on High for 1 minute and then in 30 second intervals until fully melted. Stir chocolate into cereal mixture. Mixture will be slightly runny.
Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper. Let set until firm, 2 hours. Store in an airtight container.
Notes:
Store cooled candy in an air-tight container.
The candy will last 1 to 2 weeks.
Can use white chocolate chips or white chocolate bars.
2 pounds of white chocolate chips is equal to two 12-oz packages plus 1 1/3 cup of chips.
I use smooth peanut butter, but crunchy peanut butter will work fine.
I use Planter’s dry roasted peanuts. Feel free to substitute cocktail peanuts.
You can make the candy drops as large or as small as you wish.
For a gluten-free dessert, make sure to use a gluten-free brand of rice krispies.
