Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons butter For greasing the baking dish
  • 10 oz package marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows Use any type of marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips For dipping
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Optional, helps with melting chocolate

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a little butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
  4. Using a spatula, spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Press it down gently to create a compact layer.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil (if using). Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  6. Allow the Rice Krispy treats to cool slightly, then cut them into squares or rectangles. Dip the bottoms of each piece into the melted chocolate and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Leave the dipped treats to cool at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
  8. Serve them up on a platter and enjoy!

Notes

For Halal-friendly alternatives, use vegan marshmallows. Avoid overcooking marshmallows to prevent hard treats. Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for two months.
