Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and measure out the butter, marshmallows, Rice Krispies cereal, chocolate chips, and any decorations you plan to use.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring gently to prevent browning.
- Once fully melted, add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and carefully add the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring until evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch pan, pressing it down firmly to ensure it's compact.
- Allow the mixture to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for quicker setting.
- Remove the block from the pan and cut into squares.
Dipping and Decorating
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, starting with 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip each Rice Krispie square halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Immediately decorate the dipped portion with pink and white chocolate melts, sprinkles, and chocolate hearts.
- Let the decorated treats sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate sets.
Notes
Store the treats in an airtight container. For a longer shelf life, they can be frozen for up to 2 months. Consider adding a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness for enhanced flavor.
