TIPS…..

Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp 1/3 cup salted butter + 2 tbsp for the chocolate mixture
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 10 oz. bag mini marshmallows
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- colored sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows and stir until they are melted.
- Stir in the vanilla and salt, then add all of the Rice Krispies cereal. Fold the cereal and marshmallows in until all of the cereal is fully coated.
- Transfer the coated cereal to your prepared pan. Then I have always put some soft butter on my hands and I pressed the Rice Krispies cereal down until it is an even layer.
- Set the treats out and let them cool and set for about 1-2 hours before slicing into small rectangles or squares for dipping. (Really you can slice them anyway you would like)
- Place your chocolate chips into a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments. Stir between each heating until the chips are melted and smooth.
- Dip each sliced Rice Krispies treat into the melted chocolate then set aside on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with Valentine day sprinkles.
- Let the chocolate dry at room temperature (do not refrigerate) for up to 2 hours
- I hope you love them as much as we do!
