Equipment

  • 2 sauce pans
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

RICE KRISPIE TREATS:

  • 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 6 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

CANDY MELTS ICING:

  • 1 or 2 16-oz. bags pink candy melts
  • 1 16-oz. bag white candy melts
  • 2 tbsp. canola oil as needed to make mixture smooth and spreadable
  • sprinkles if desired

Instructions
 

RICE KRISPIE TREATS:

  • Melt butter in large Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Add marshmallows.
  • Stir continually until the marshmallows are completely melted.
  • Turn off heat.
  • Add the Rice Krispie Cereal and stir with a wooden spoon until cereal is completely coated with melted marshmallow mixture.
  • Spoon ingredients into a 9x13” glass baking dish.
  • Press ingredients down very firmly in baking dish.
  • Cool completely before adding icing.

CANDY MELTS ICING:

  • Melt candy melts over low heat, stirring frequently.
  • Add a teaspoon of oil at a time and stir just enough oil into melts to make them soft enough for dipping.
  • Either spread icing over top of 9x13” baking dish or dip shaped Rice Krispie Treats into melted candy melts as desired.
  • Drizzle icing of a different color over top of glaze.
  • Allow icing to set completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

NOTE: I added a couple of tablespoons of oil to make the candy melts of spreading consistency. Do NOT try to thin the icing with water. It will ruin the icing.
