Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I first prepare my workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This little step makes cleanup a breeze later! Next, I pour the Rice Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl. It’s truly satisfying to see those little squares pile up; they remind me of all the snacks I’ve enjoyed over the years. In a microwave-safe bowl, I then heat the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth. The sweet aroma fills my kitchen, and it’s hard not to be tempted to sneak a taste! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
