Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • 1 stick butter
  • Orange food coloring (about 10-15 drops)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Decoration Ingredients

  • 2 cups mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil, separated (1 tsp for white chocolate, 1 tsp for mini chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Melt Marshmallows and Butter: In a large microwavable bowl, add the mini marshmallows and butter. Microwave for 2 minutes until melted and smooth.
  2. Add Color and Flavor: Stir in the orange food coloring and vanilla extract into the melted marshmallow mixture until evenly incorporated.
  3. Combine with Cereal: Pour the colored marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a large bowl and mix until the cereal is fully coated.
  4. Divide and Press Mixture: Split the mixture into two equal parts and press each into a disposable pie pan, shaping them flat and even.
  5. Set the Treats: Allow the Rice Krispies treats to set and harden for 2 hours at room temperature.
  6. Cut into Triangles: Once set, cut each Rice Krispies pan into 8 even triangle pieces for a total of 16 treats.
  7. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with 1 tsp of coconut oil to prevent seizing, stirring until smooth.
  8. Dip Tips in White Chocolate: Dip the narrow tips of each triangle into the melted white chocolate. Place them on parchment paper and let set for 10 minutes.
  9. Melt Mini Chocolate Chips: Melt the mini chocolate chips with the remaining 1 tsp of coconut oil until smooth.
  10. Dip Wide Ends in Chocolate: Dip the wide ends of each triangle into the melted mini chocolate. Place treats on parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them fresh.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular size chips if mini are not available, just adjust melting times slightly.
  • Orange food coloring quantity can be adjusted depending on desired color intensity.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent chocolate from sticking during the setting process.
  • For a firmer texture, refrigerate the treats after setting the chocolate dips.
