Instructions

3. Prepare the Chocolate Layer
-
Melt chocolate chips with butter (if using) in a microwave or double boiler until silky smooth.
-
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the Rice Krispie layer.
4. Roll It Up
-
Using the parchment paper for guidance, carefully roll the rectangle into a tight log.
-
Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes, or until firm.
