Scale

- ¼ teaspoon/1.5 g salt
- 1 tablespoon/15 ml coconut oil
- 1 ½ cups/36 g Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Preparation: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, creating generous overhangs for effortless removal.
- Chocolate Foundation: Melt milk chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 30-second intervals until achieving a glossy, uniform liquidity. Incorporate a delicate salt sprinkle to elevate the chocolate’s depth.

- Chocolate Melting Technique: Use short microwave intervals and stir frequently to prevent chocolate from burning or seizing.
- Cereal Coating Tip: Fold Rice Krispies gently into melted chocolate to ensure complete and even coverage without crushing the crisp texture.
- Chilling Strategy: Allow bars to set at room temperature first, then refrigerate to achieve perfect firm consistency without chocolate cracking.
