Melt about 4 cups of mini marshmallows in a large pot over low heat, stirring constantly for approximately 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies and 1 cup of chopped maraschino cherries, stirring until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan and press firmly into the pan to level it.
Melt 2 cups of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
Cut the cooled Rice Krispies base into squares or rectangles and dip each piece into the melted chocolate.
Let the treats sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
