Ingredients
- 9 oz box Rice Krispies cereal
- 40 large fresh marshmallows
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons butter for cooking,
- cooking spray or 1 tablespoon butter for greasing the pan
- wax or parchment paper
Instructions
- Grease a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan at low to medium-low heat.
- Add marshmallows slowly, stirring as they melt.
- Stir in the rice cereal until well coated.
- Press mixture into the prepared pan using wax paper or a buttered spatula.
- Let cool to room temperature.
- Cut into 3 inch squares.
- Heat a few inches of water in a double boiler (or use a medium saucepan for water with small saucepan for the chocolate) until boiling.
- Add the coconut oil and white chocolate chips while continuously stirring as they melt.
- Once melted, dip each rice krispie treat until half covered with melted white chocolate.
- Set on wax or parchment paper and add sprinkles before the white chocolate hardens.
Pro Tips:
- Use a small saucepan for melting the chocolate so it is deeper for easy dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate slowly – it burns easily! If you’re dipping for the first time, you may find it easier to use white candy melts instead.
Variations:
- For an extra sweet treat, mix in a cup of mini marshmallows with the rice krispie cereal before adding the melted marshmallow mixture.
- For rice krispie treat hearts: after cooling, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter or silicone molds to make heart shapes of cookies you can still dip and sprinkle!
- Add red food coloring to the melted marshmallows for even more colorful treats.
Storage:
- Store in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap. Lasts for three days at room temperature or up to 6 weeks in the freezer.
