Ingredients:
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or melted white chocolate for drizzling
Instructions:
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Mix Ingredients:
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Then, add the mini marshmallows and Rice Krispies cereal. Mix well until everything is evenly coated with the chocolate.
- Shape the Balls:
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly (but not too much). Grease your hands with a bit of butter or cooking spray, then take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
- Chill:
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Add Toppings (Optional):
- If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with toppings of your choice.
- Serve:
- Once set, enjoy your Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls! Store leftovers in an airtight container.
These treats are great for parties, snacks, or just a sweet craving. Enjoy!
