Deliciously soft and chewy Rice Krispy treats topped with smooth chocolate, perfect for parties or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (or any crisped rice cereal)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 bag (10 oz) regular marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (optional)
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or coconut oil)
  • Optional toppings: 1/3 cup white chocolate chips for drizzle, Sprinkles, Crushed nuts, Flaky sea salt, Mini M&Ms or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or nonstick spray, then line with parchment paper and grease the parchment.
  2. Melt the butter and marshmallows: In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter, add marshmallows, and stir until smooth.
  3. Mix in the cereal: Add Rice Krispies to the melted mixture and fold until coated.
  4. Press into the pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press evenly without compressing too hard.
  5. Prepare the chocolate topping: Melt chocolate chips and oil in a heatproof bowl using microwave or double boiler.
  6. Cover the treats with chocolate: Pour and spread melted chocolate over cooled Rice Krispy layer.
  7. Add toppings: Sprinkle desired toppings over chocolate while it’s still wet.
  8. Let the chocolate set: Allow to sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  9. Slice the treats: Lift the set treats out and cut into squares or bars.
  10. Serve and store: Serve at room temperature; store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

Work quickly while the marshmallow mix is warm. Do not over-press the mixture to avoid hard treats.
