What each ingredient does
- Semisweet chocolate bits
- Melts into a smooth coating that sets firm when cooled, holding the bites together.
- Cheerios
- Provide the crunchy, airy texture that contrasts with the melted chocolate.
The step that matters
Cool at room temperature before mixing in Cheerios. Chocolate that is still very hot can thin out or seize, and hot chocolate softens the cereal, making it soggy. Letting it cool slightly keeps the coating thick and the Cheerios crisp.
