Ingredients You'll Need
1. Chocolate Chips
The star of this recipe is the chocolate. You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate chips depending on your preference. For a more festive touch, you can also use colored candy melts to give your crackle candy a vibrant look.
2. Butter
Butter adds richness and flavor to the candy. Make sure to use unsalted butter as the salt in salted butter can affect the taste of the candy.
3. Corn Syrup
Corn syrup is the secret ingredient that gives this candy its signature crunch. You can use light or dark corn syrup, both work equally well in this recipe.
4. Rice Cereal
Rice cereal is the key to achieving the crackle texture in this candy. You can use any crispy rice cereal brand, such as Rice Krispies or Cocoa Krispies.
5. Vanilla Extract
A splash of vanilla extract adds a subtle but delicious flavor to the candy. You can also experiment with different extracts, such as almond or peppermint, to give your crackle candy a unique twist.
Instructions
1. Melt the Chocolate
Start by melting the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
2. Add Corn Syrup and Vanilla Extract
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the corn syrup and vanilla extract until well combined. This will give the candy its crispy texture and add a hint of flavor.
3. Mix in the Rice Cereal
Gently fold in the rice cereal until it is fully coated in the chocolate mixture. Make sure not to crush the cereal too much, as you want to maintain its crunchiness.
4. Spread and Cool
Pour the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Let it cool at room temperature until the chocolate has hardened.
5. Break into Pieces
Once the candy is completely cooled, break it into small pieces and serve. You can also store it in an airtight container for up to a week.
