Whether you’re a traditionalist when it comes to Rice Krispie treats or simply yearn for a sweet indulgence, this decadent recipe is the perfect solution. These sweet treats are absurdly effortless, with no baking necessary; in fact, they may disappear so quickly that they won’t have a chance to cool down. When something’s this exceptional, it’s a calculated risk to indulge in its greatness.

Ingredient Notes

If you’re having trouble tracking down chocolate Rice Krispies, consider substituting with regular Rice Krispies and adding two tablespoons of high-quality cocoa powder to achieve a rich, chocolatey flavor. There’s no need to break the bank – consider using a more affordable alternative.
Salt enhances the flavours of chocolate, making it an unexpectedly brilliant pairing. If all you’ve got is unsalted butter, simply sprinkle a pinch of salt into the melted marshmallow blend once it’s been dissolved.
Using mini marshmallows ensures a rapid and seamless melting process. By incorporating additional unmelted marshmallows at the conclusion, you create hidden reservoirs of fluffy sweetness within each treat.
The reduced size enables uniform distribution. While regular chocolate chips will still yield a delicious result, they’re slightly larger than mini chips, which may affect the texture of your final product.

Drizzle or Dip in Chocolate

Elevate your Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats by drizzling on a rich chocolate glaze or submerging them in melted chocolate for an indulgent twist that will surely satisfy sweet tooth cravings. Here’s how to do it:

Melt 1/2 cup of milk, dark, or white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, ensuring the smooth transition from solid to liquid state. Stirring constantly, incrementally heat the mixture for 20 seconds at a time, ensuring a seamless transition to a fully melted and silky-smooth consistency. Employing either a trusty spoon or a precise piping bag, delicately drizzle the rich chocolate over the completely cooled confections in artful, swooping zigzag patterns. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or expedite the process by refrigerating the chocolates for approximately 10 minutes.

Why not elevate the indulgence by submerging the treats in a rich, velvety melted chocolate for an added layer of decadence?

Melt 2 cups of chocolate chips – milk, dark, or white chocolate options are available – in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 20-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the mixture is fully smooth and uniform. Submerge each cut square approximately one-quarter to one-third into a pool of richly melted chocolate. Arrange the dipped squares on a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat, allowing the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until hardened.

Storage Instructions

Stored properly, chocolate rice krispie treats will remain fresh and delicious for up to three days when kept in an airtight container at room temperature. Ensure that the container is securely sealed to maintain optimal freshness and texture for your snacks.

Freeze the treats for extended storage. Arrange the pieces into uniform squares, placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet for efficient cooking. Submerge the frozen cubes in a sealable plastic container to prevent moisture accumulation. Stored in a freezer at -18°C (0°F) or below for up to three months. Allowing them to thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes will enhance their enjoyment.
