Ingredients
Scale
- 5 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 12 ounce mini marshmallows
- 7 cups rice krispies cereal
- 5 ounce white chocolate melts melted
- sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat, then add marshmallows and reduce the heat.
- Stir constantly to avoid sticking until the marshmallows are fully melted.
- Remove from heat and quickly mix in the Rice Krispies until coated evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press down evenly (using butter or parchment paper on your hands can help prevent sticking).
- Chill in the fridge for approximately 10-15 minutes, then cut into desired pieces.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, adding food coloring incrementally until achieving your preferred hue.
- Allow it to cool slightly before transferring to a piping bag. Cut a small hole in the tip.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the treats and sprinkle with optional toppings.
Notes
You can use food coloring to match the theme for Valentine’s Day.
For easier cleanup, spray your hands with cooking spray before pressing the mixture into the pan.
