These remind me of my childhood, our neighbor would be fresh every year for Christmas and bring us a bag of them. They are so so simple, though not a baker can whip up these --- and let your children join, are evidence of error!
Ingredients
1 lb. white chocolate
2 cups rice crispy cereal
2 cups Spanish Peanuts (they have red skins on them and are salted in the snack isle)
Directions
I would like to buy chocolate chips (Trader Joes sells white chocolate chunks), because they melt faster and more evenly to a bar, then put your chocolate in a glass bowl (if you use your microwave) or your bath (if you use your stove) for the melt. Melt them in a smooth (if you use your microwave, you must do so at intervals of 30 seconds, stirring in between, should take approximately 1 minute 30 seconds to melt). Then add your nuts and grains, mix until everything is evenly mixed batches, then get your cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. With a spoon, place them in spoonful on the sheet, you should probably two cookie sheets. Paste in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to firm. Package them in cute cellophane bags, Chinese out of boxes, or something similar, and share with those you love!
** Side Note: I tried them in milk chocolate and dark chocolate, and I must be honest, white chocolate proves to be the best .... but others are good, so it can be confusing if you want!
