Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and create an easy cleanup surface.
- Use a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl to melt white chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to ensure smooth and even melting. This typically takes 1-2 minutes total.
- Once the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth, remove from microwave and let cool for 1-2 minutes to prevent burning.
- Gently stir in vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the melted chocolate.
- Add crispy rice cereal, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts to the melted white chocolate. Fold ingredients carefully to ensure complete coating without crushing the cereal.
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop mixture onto prepared baking sheet, creating small cluster-like shapes.
- Allow Ting A Lings to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes, or place in refrigerator for faster setting (about 10 minutes).
- Once completely set, transfer Ting A Lings to an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
