These classic treats are a nostalgic favorite! Crispy rice cereal is combined with melted marshmallows and chocolate for a sweet and chewy snack.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (10 ounce) bag marshmallows
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
- Combine with Cereal: Remove from heat and immediately stir in Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.
- Add Chocolate: Stir in chocolate chips until melted and combined.
- Shape into Balls: Using a spoon or your hands (lightly oiled), shape the mixture into small balls.
- Cool and Enjoy: Place the balls on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tips & Variations:
- For extra chocolate: Use more chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled balls.
- Add-ins: Get creative with mix-ins! Try adding chopped nuts, peanut butter chips, sprinkles, or dried fruit.
- Frosting: For a festive touch, frost the balls with chocolate or vanilla frosting.
- Shape variations: Instead of balls, you can shape the mixture into squares, bars, or even mini cakes.
Enjoy!
