How to make Nesquik Chocolate Cereal
Creating homemade chocolate cereal balls is a rewarding and straightforward process that brings together the rich flavors of chocolate with the satisfying crunch of cereal. By following a few simple steps, you can craft these delightful treats in your own kitchen:
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Stir well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Dough: Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Shape the Cereal: Take small portions of the dough and roll them between your palms to form tiny balls, about the size of small marbles.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 160°C (320°F) to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Cereal: Place the dough balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air-fry at 160°C for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Cool and Store: Once done, remove the cereal from the air fryer and let it cool completely.
