Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt unsalted butter over low heat. Use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent burning.
- Add marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until completely melted and smooth. Keep the heat low to prevent scorching.
- Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat and quickly fold in Rice Krispies cereal. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure even coating.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or buttered hands to press the mixture evenly and smoothly into the pan.
- Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds to prevent burning. Heat in 30-second intervals until completely smooth.
- Once treats are cooled, cut into 12 even rectangles or squares.
- Dip half of each treat into melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place dipped treats on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with decorative Valentine's themed sprinkles.
- Let white chocolate set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting, about 10-15 minutes.
Tips
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture and easiest melting.
- Butter your hands or a spatula when pressing the mixture into the pan to prevent sticking.
- For smooth white chocolate, use high-quality chips and melt slowly, stirring frequently.
- Work quickly when dipping treats to ensure an even chocolate coating.
- Choose Valentine's themed sprinkles or use red, pink, and white colors for a festive touch.
- Let treats cool completely before dipping to prevent chocolate from sliding off.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for maximum freshness.
- For an extra special touch, drizzle additional melted white chocolate over the treats for a gourmet look.
