Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Workspace

  1. Gather Ingredients: Make sure all your materials are ready.
  2. Line a Baking Tray: Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Mix Your Base

  1. Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.
    • Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.

  2. Add Marshmallows:

    • Stir in mini marshmallows until they are well coated.

Incorporate Crunch

  1. Fold in Puffed Rice:
    • Gently mix the puffed rice cereal into the chocolate-marshmallow mixture, ensuring even coverage.

Form the Moon Rocks

  1. Shape the Mixture:

    • Use your hands to form small balls or clusters; they don’t need to be perfect.

  2. Decorate:

    • If desired, roll the moon rocks in edible glitter or sprinkles before placing them on the lined tray.

Cool and Set

  1. Chill:
    • Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.

Tips & Variations

  • Nut-Free Version: Use sun butter instead of peanut butter for a nut-free treat.
  • Add Flavor: Substitute a portion of chocolate for flavored candies (like strawberry or mint).
  • Extra Crunch: Mix in nuts or seeds for added texture.
  • Colorful Options: Use food coloring to dye the chocolate for a fun twist.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use different cereals?
Yes! Feel free to swap the puffed rice with any cereal of your choice, such as cornflakes or granola.

2. How long can I store moon rocks?
These treats can be stored in an airtight container for about a week, although they are best enjoyed fresh.

3. Can I make them vegan?
Absolutely! Use dairy-free chocolate and a plant-based peanut butter to create a vegan version.

4. What can I do if my mixture is too sticky?
Add a little more puffed rice or chill the mixture briefly to make it easier to handle.

Serving Suggestions or Pairings

Enjoy your Moon Rocks with a hot cup of cocoa, a refreshing iced coffee, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also pair beautifully with fresh fruit slices, adding a vibrant touch to your snack table.
