Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 6 cups rice krispies cereal
Chocolate Dip
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat until completely liquid to create a smooth base for the treats.
- Add Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
- Mix in Cereal: Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in the rice krispies cereal, ensuring every piece is well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Shape the Treats: Press the rice krispies mixture firmly into a greased heart-shaped pan to form the desired shape, smoothing the surface for even thickness.
- Cool and Set: Let the shaped treats cool and set for about 30 minutes at room temperature until firm enough to handle.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in short intervals, stirring between each until smooth and glossy.
- Dip Hearts in Chocolate: Dip each rice krispie heart separately into the melted chocolate, making sure it is well coated, then place on wax paper to allow the chocolate to set and harden.
Notes
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help treats hold their shape.
- For an extra glossy chocolate coating, ensure the chocolate is fully melted and combined with vegetable oil before dipping.
- Use wax paper to prevent sticking while chocolate sets.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Optionally, add sprinkles to the chocolate before it sets for a festive touch.
