Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Treats
  • 3 cups Rice Krispy cereal
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons butter For melting with the marshmallows
For the Coating
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Can use white or dark chocolate as a substitute
  • Sprinkles or additional toppings (optional) To enhance the presentation and flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather a large pot, a wooden spoon, a 9x13 inch baking dish, and parchment paper.
  2. In the large pot on medium heat, combine the butter and mini marshmallows. Stir consistently until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove pot from heat and gradually add Rice Krispy cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir well until every piece is coated.
  4. Line the baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish and use a spatula or your hands (with a bit of cooking spray) to press evenly into the dish. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes.
Dipping and Topping
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in bursts of 30 seconds, stirring between each interval until fully melted and smooth.
  2. Cut cooled treats into squares or rectangles. Dip the bottom half of each treat into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  3. Set dipped treats on a lined baking sheet and sprinkle with desired toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
  4. Allow chocolate to set for about 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting. Enjoy your Chocolate Dipped Rice Krispy Treats!
