Ingredients
Scale
Rice Krispie Treats
- 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, ensuring it does not brown.
- Add marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Combine with cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the rice krispies cereal until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press mixture: Transfer the mixture into a greased heart-shaped pan and press down firmly to create an even layer.
- Cool and set: Allow the rice krispie treats to cool and set in the pan for about 30 minutes so they firm up.
- Melt chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips together with the vegetable oil in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip hearts: Carefully dip each heart-shaped treat into the melted chocolate and place on wax paper to set the chocolate coating.
Notes
- For easier removal, grease the pan well or line with parchment paper before pressing the mixture.
- Use mini marshmallows for best melting and texture.
- Vegetable oil helps the chocolate dip stay smooth and set with a nice shine.
- Let the dipped treats fully set at room temperature or chill briefly to harden the chocolate faster.
