Cuisine: American

For the Treats:

32 ounces Rice Krispies Treats Sheet or homemade Rice Krispie mixture (3 tablespoons butter, 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows, and 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal)
24 ounces Pink Candy Melts (or other colors/flavors like dark chocolate or white chocolate)
to taste Sprinkles or toppings (optional) for decoration

Directions:

Step 1: Prepare Your Rice Krispie Treats. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add 1 package (10 oz) of mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 2: Cool and Cut. Allow your Rice Krispie treats to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cut them into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
Step 3: Melt the Candy Melts. In a microwave-safe bowl, place the 24 ounces of pink candy melts. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until they are completely melted and smooth.
Step 4: Dip the Rice Krispie Treats. Dip each Rice Krispie treat into the melted chocolate, making sure to fully coat each piece. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the treats on a sheet of wax or parchment paper.
Step 5: Add Toppings (Optional). Sprinkle your favorite toppings or sprinkles onto the chocolate-covered treats while the coating is still wet.
Step 6: Let Them Set. Let the chocolate coating set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.
