Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar (for dusting)
• 0.25 cups melted chocolate (optional, for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, transfer the batter to a squeeze bottle, piping bag, or a large resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off.

Step 6

Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in small swirling or kiss shapes (about 2-inch circles), working in batches to avoid crowding the pot.

Step 7

Fry each batch for 1–2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the funnel kisses and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

While still warm, dust the funnel kisses with powdered sugar using a fine-mesh sieve. Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy these crispy, sweet treats with family and friends!
