Perfect for Easter celebrations or any fun occasion, these treats combine gooey, crunchy textures with colorful sprinkles for an irresistible sweet snack.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 16 cups mini marshmallows (divided)
  • 10 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Chocolate Coating & Toppings

  • 6 ounces high-quality dark chocolate
  • 6 ounces high-quality white chocolate
  • Sprinkles (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×13-inch pan with foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add 12 cups of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Mix with Cereal and Remaining Marshmallows: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the salt and Rice Krispies cereal until the cereal is evenly coated. Then fold in the remaining 4 cups of mini marshmallows until fully combined.
  4. Shape the Treats: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Press the mixture evenly into the pan using parchment paper sprayed with non-stick spray to help smooth the surface. Allow the mixture to cool completely and set.
  5. Cut into Squares: Once cooled and firm, cut the treats into 20-24 equal squares.
  6. Set Up Double Boilers: Bring about 1 inch of water to a simmer in two separate pots. Place a heat-safe bowl over each pot without touching the water. Melt the dark chocolate in one bowl and the white chocolate in the other, stirring occasionally until smooth and fully melted.
  7. Dip Treats in Chocolate: Dip each Rice Krispie square halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Insert a popsicle stick into each dipped treat, then sprinkle with festive toppings if desired.
  8. Let Chocolate Set: Place the dipped treats on a parchment-lined tray and allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and smooth dipping consistency.
  • Sprinkles are optional but add a festive touch perfect for Easter or special occasions.
  • Pressing the mixture with parchment paper helps achieve an even surface and prevents sticking.
  • Ensure the melting water does not boil vigorously to avoid overheating the chocolate.
  • The treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
