This classic recipe is a simple and delicious treat that’s perfect for any occasion. These crispy, chocolatey treats are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 (10 ounce) package marshmallows
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other toppings
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 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 (greased with butter), shape the mixture into small balls.
- Optional: Add toppings: While the balls are still slightly warm, roll them in sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other desired toppings.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the balls cool completely on wax paper or a baking sheet before serving.
Tips:
- For extra chocolatey flavor, use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
- To prevent sticking, lightly grease your hands or use a small scoop to form the balls.
- Get creative with toppings! Try crushed cookies, coconut flakes, or even mini marshmallows.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Enjoy!
