Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (about 180g)
- 10 oz marshmallows (about 280g), regular size
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 57g), softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 180g)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (30ml)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread Rice Krispies cereal evenly on a baking sheet and toast for about 5 minutes until slightly golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until smooth and fully melted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour cooled toasted cereal into a large mixing bowl. Immediately add melted marshmallow mixture and fold gently with a spatula to coat cereal evenly without crushing it.
- Transfer mixture to a parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking pan. Press evenly and firmly but gently using a buttered spatula or wax paper. Let cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and drizzle-ready. Alternatively, melt chocolate using a double boiler.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled Rice Krispie treats using a spoon or piping bag in a zigzag or random pattern.
- Allow chocolate drizzle to set at room temperature or refrigerate for about 15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Toast the cereal for extra crispness and nuttier flavor. Melt butter and marshmallows slowly on low heat to avoid scorching. Fold gently to keep cereal crispy. Press mixture firmly but not too hard to maintain air pockets. Thin chocolate drizzle with cream if too thick. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; refrigeration may harden treats.
