Rice Krispies Mendiants

Rice Krispies Treats meets chocolate “mendiants” in this fun, crunchy, long-shelf life recipe created by Chef Andres Lara. By merging one of America’s favorite cereals and the traditional French bite-sized chocolate coins (traditionally topped with nuts), the recipe achieves a phenomenal contrast between the delicate airiness of caramelized puffed rice grains and the richness of hazelnut praliné and milk chocolate. Combined, these simple ingredients create a rustic, well-rounded, and fun confection which can serve as inspiration for many other creations like “arroz con leche” ice cream and so much more!
