Ingredients:
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1/4 cup unsalted butter
10 oz mini marshmallows
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate)
Directions:
1. Melt the Marshmallows:
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until you have a velvety smooth mixture. Stir in the fragrant vanilla extract for a delightful aroma.
2. Add the Cereal and Cherries:
Remove the pot from heat. Quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and the chopped maraschino cherries, ensuring everything is well-coated and combined.
3. Shape the Treats:
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish and gently press it down with a greased spatula to form an even layer. Allow the treats to cool completely.
4. Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
5. Drizzle or Dip the Treats:
Once the Rice Krispies treats are cooled, get creative! Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top or dip each square halfway into the chocolate. Place them on a sheet of parchment paper to set.
6. Serve:
Once the chocolate has hardened, slice the treats into squares and savor each bite!
