If you like the taste and texture of Rice Krispy Treats bars and adore chocolate - then topping your treats with chocolate may be for you. When you think about this recipe, you'll wonder how they can be topped without getting your fingers all chocolatey.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 pkg semi-sweet/milk chocolate chips
- sprinkles (decorating)
Steps
-
1Prepare your work surface. To do this, get a 9x13-inch pan and cover it in wax paper.
-
2Melt butter in a pot, and add the marshmallows. Stir the mixture until it is melted, then remove from the stove.
- Although people may see melting as being a task a microwave can handle quicker, avoid using the microwave because after heating the mixture and removing it, the melted mixture will begin cooling and you won't want that!

3Add the cereal and stir. This part of the directions will follow the directions contained in Make Rice Krispies Treats. Place this mixture down into the dish, and cut each portion of the mixture into 2x2 inch squares.
-
4Use a double-boiler to melt the chocolate.
-
5Place a toothpick into each 2x2 square. These toothpicks are used to pick up each piece without touching the square, which will allow the next step to affect only the top of the square, without getting your hands gooey and chocolatey.
-
6Dip each of the 2x2 squares into the chocolate double-boiler's melted chocolate mixture. Smoothen each square's surface if necessary.
-
7Sprinkle the sprinkles on top of the treats - to your desired liking.
-
8Cool the mixture for at least a half hour, but avoid freezing the treats. Use a cooling rack at first, though refrigerators are best used for the majority of the time. These treats break very quickly if super-cooled quickly from warmer temps.
-
9Serve each treat once cooled. Unused treats may be stored and stacked in an airtight container lined with wax paper sheets between each layer for up to three days, or you may store them for up to 6 weeks by freezing them.
- If you store your Rice Krispy Treats in the freezer, note that you will need to leave them out for at least 15 minutes or until they thaw before you eat them.
