Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (255 grams) Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup (50 grams) mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) chocolate chips
Binding/Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter
Optional Toppings/Garnish:
(No additional ingredients specified)
Instructions
- Melt marshmallows, chocolate chips, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth and integrated.
- Remove the mixture from microwave and immediately fold in Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring every crisp is thoroughly coated with the chocolate-marshmallow blend.
- Using lightly greased hands, quickly form the mixture into uniform spherical shapes, preventing the mixture from cooling and becoming difficult to mold.
- Arrange the formed treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow proper setting.
- Chill the treats in the refrigerator for approximately 25-35 minutes until they become firm and maintain their structured shape.
- Once set, transfer the chocolate marshmallow rice krispies treats to a serving platter, allowing them to slightly temper at room temperature for optimal texture and flavor enjoyment.
Notes
- Experiment with chocolate varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate to customize the flavor profile and match personal preferences.
- Prevent sticky hands while shaping by lightly coating your palms with cooking spray or butter before forming the treats.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crispy rice cereal and ensure chocolate chips are certified gluten-free.
- Create fun variations by adding crushed nuts, sprinkles, or drizzling additional melted chocolate over the finished treats for extra indulgence.
