Delicious and easy-to-make Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls combining crunchy cereal, melted chocolate, and gooey marshmallows, perfect as a sweet treat or snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
  • 8 ounces semi sweet chocolate (225g)
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: Gradually melt the semi sweet chocolate in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally until fully liquefied.
  2. Add vanilla and marshmallows: Stir in the vanilla extract, then add the mini marshmallows and continue mixing until they are thoroughly melted and combined with the chocolate.
  3. Combine with cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately fold in the Rice Krispie cereal, ensuring it is evenly coated with the chocolate-marshmallow mixture.
  4. Shape the balls: Shape the mixture into six compact balls by pressing firmly with your hands.
  5. Chill and set: Place the balls onto a parchment-lined surface and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking while cooling.
  • You can substitute semi sweet chocolate with dark or milk chocolate to vary the taste.
  • For a festive touch, add sprinkles or drizzle with white chocolate before chilling.
  • Storage tip: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
