How to Make Rice Krispies Treats!
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Melt the butter in a large stock pot over medium-low heat.
2. Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
3. Remove the pot from heat and mix in the Rice Krispies. Stir until every piece of cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture.
4. Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Spread the cereal mixture evenly in the dish, pressing it down firmly to make it compact. Let it cool for at least 2 hours.
5. Once cooled, cut the mixture into 30 small squares.
6. Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag and drizzle it over each square. Immediately sprinkle with your choice of silver and gold sprinkles.
7. Let the chocolate set and harden before serving.
Serve and Enjoy!
Important Recipe Notes
- When spreading the mixture into the pan, press it down gently. If it’s packed too tightly, the treats can turn out hard instead of soft and chewy.
- The marshmallow mixture sets fast, so have your pan greased and ready before you start mixing.
- Make sure the treats are cooled before adding the chocolate. If they’re warm, the drizzle will melt right in.
- Add your sprinkles right after drizzling the chocolate so they stick before it hardens.
- These can be made the day before your party. Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature, and they’ll stay soft and fresh.
- Use a sharp knife coated with a little nonstick spray to slice the squares cleanly.
