Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Creamy soynut butter
Provides the rich, nutty flavour and binds the cereal into a firm centre.
Margarine
Adds fat that melts with the soynut butter, helping the centre stay smooth and cohesive.
Powdered sugar
Adds sweetness and dissolves into the mixture, helping the centres hold together.
Rice krispies cereal
Adds a crisp texture and bulk to the centre.
Semisweet chocolate chips
Forms the chocolate coating, adding sweetness and a firm, snappy shell when cooled.

The step that matters

Chill the centres until firm before dipping. Cold, firm centres hold their shape in the warm melted coating. Soft centres can break apart or smear when dipped and twirled.
