About Crackle Chocolate

Crackle Chocolate is no bake treat made with melted chocolate and crispy rice cereal. The mixture are poured into moulds and then chilled until it become firm. Once set, it turns into small bite sized chocolates with a light crunch inside. It looks very simple but tastes very good.

This recipe is quite popular in many homes because it needs only two main ingredients. The texture is smooth and glossy on outside while inside you get tiny crisp bites from rice krispies. That contrast makes every bite more interesting to eat. It is sweet but not too heavy like some rich desserts.

You can also make small variations in this recipe easily. Some people add chopped nuts for extra crunch and flavor. Few people add little butter to make it more soft in texture. You can even use white chocolate instead of regular cooking chocolate. Each variation gives slightly different taste but base idea stays same.

I usually make this when I want something quick for kids at home. It hardly takes much effort and always turns out nice for me. It is one of those sweets which never fails even if you are new to baking.

Crackle Chocolate Ingredients

Expert Tips

• Melting Chocolate - I usually melt chocolate using double boiler method so it does not burns fast. I make sure water do not touch the bowl, otherwise chocolate become thick and lumpy.
• Do Not Overheat - I switch off the heat once chocolate melt fully. If I overheat it, it become grainy and texture will not be smooth.
• Mix Gently - I mix gently and quickly after adding rice krispies so it coat evenly. If I mix too much, cereal may loose its crunch and becomes soft.
• Filling the Moulds - I use spoon to fill the moulds and tap lightly to remove air bubbles. I also prefer silicone moulds as it are easier to remove later.
• Chilling Time - I keep it in refrigerator for atleast one hour for proper setting. If I remove it early, it may breaks while taking out from moulds.

Store leftover chocolates in an airtight container inside refrigerator. They stays good for about one week if stored properly.
