Ingredients
  

For the Treats
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal Essential for that classic crispy texture; no replacement necessary!
  • 4 cups Mini Marshmallows These add gooey sweetness; feel free to swap with regular marshmallows if needed.
  • 3 tablespoons Butter Richness and a smooth melting base for marshmallows; margarine can also be used.
For the Coating
  • 12 ounces Candy Melts (assorted colors) Perfect for a sweet, colorful shell; chocolate chips work too but may need coconut oil for smoothing.
  • 1 cup Assorted Sprinkles Add visual flair and extra crunch; any type of sprinkles will brighten up your treats!
For Assembly
  • 12 Popsicle Sticks Makes it easy to hold and enjoy these delightful treats; sturdy alternatives can be used if necessary.

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking sheet
  • Large saucepan
  • spatula
  • sharp knife
  • double boiler or microwave

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Start by lining a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking. Make sure the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and continue stirring constantly for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and melted.
  3. Mix Rice Krispies: Pour in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and gently stir with a spatula until fully coated with marshmallow mixture, which should take about 2 minutes.
  4. Press Mixture: Transfer the Rice Krispie mixture into the lined baking sheet, pressing down firmly to create an even layer about 1 inch thick. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  5. Cut Treats: After cooling, lift the entire sheet of treats out and place on a cutting board. Cut into rectangular or popsicle shapes, approximately 2 inches wide.
  6. Insert Sticks: Carefully push a popsicle stick into the bottom center of each Rice Krispie piece, ensuring it provides stability.
  7. Melt Candy Coatings: Melt 12 ounces of assorted candy melts according to package instructions, stirring frequently until smooth and pourable.
  8. Dip Treats: Dip each Rice Krispie treat pop into the melted candy, swirling until fully coated. Allow excess to drip off.
  9. Decorate: While coating is still soft, sprinkle your choice of decorative sprinkles over the chocolate.
