Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 (10 ounce) package marshmallows
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: sprinkles for decoration

- Add chocolate: Stir in chocolate chips until melted and combined.
- Shape into balls: Using a spoon or your hands (lightly greased with butter), shape the mixture into small balls.
