Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 8 ounces semi sweet chocolate (225g)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Gradually melt the semi sweet chocolate in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally until fully liquefied.
- 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.
- 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.
- Shape the balls: Shape the mixture into six compact balls by pressing firmly with your hands.
- 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.
