Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 1 stick butter
- Orange food coloring
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil, separated
Instructions
- Microwave Marshmallows and Butter: Add the mini marshmallows and butter to a large microwavable bowl and microwave for 2 minutes until melted and smooth.
- Add Coloring and Flavor: Stir in orange food coloring and vanilla extract into the melted marshmallow mixture until fully incorporated and evenly colored.
- Combine with Cereal: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture into a large bowl containing the Rice Krispies cereal and gently mix until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Divide and Set: Split the mixture into two equal parts and press each into a disposable pie pan to form a flat layer. Let the mixture set for 2 hours at room temperature to firm up.
- Cut into Triangles: After setting, cut each Rice Krispies layer into 8 even triangle-shaped pieces, making a total of 16 treats.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips together with 1 tsp of coconut oil to prevent seizing, stirring until smooth.
- Dip Tips in White Chocolate: Dip the pointed tips of each triangle into the melted white chocolate, then place on parchment paper and let set for 10 minutes.
- Melt Mini Chocolate Chips: Melt the mini chocolate chips with the remaining 1 tsp coconut oil until smooth.
- Dip Wide Ends in Chocolate: Dip the wide end of each Rice Krispies triangle into the melted mini chocolate chips, then place on parchment paper to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
- Use disposable pie pans for easy cleanup and shape formation.
- Adjust the amount of food coloring for desired vibrancy.
- Coconut oil helps the chocolate be smoother and prevents it from seizing during melting.
- Allow enough time for the treats to fully set before serving for best texture.
