GET THE SUPPLIES

RECIPE

  • For Rice Crispy Bars:

    • 1/4 cup butter

    • 1 bag large marshmallows

    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

    • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

    • Cooking spray

    For Chocolate Coating:

    • White chocolate chips

    • Candy eyes

    • Cooking oil

    • Gel food-coloring

    1. Spray a 9”x13” baking pan with cooking spray.

    2. On low heat, melt butter in a large pot.

    3. Add marshmallows and stir until melted and combined.

    4. Remove pot from heat and add vanilla extract and Rice Krispies. Combine well.

    5. Pour the mixture onto the baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula. To avoid sticking, spray the spatula with cooking spray.

    6. Allow to cool & firm. Then cut into bars.

    7. Create a double boiler by stacking a heat-resistant bowl on top of a pot of boiling water.

    8. Melt white chocolate chips by pouring into the heat-resistant bowl and stirring gently.

    9. Color the chocolate by mixing in your oil-based food color. To create your own oil-based food color, mix roughly equal parts cooking oil and gel food color. Once mixed thoroughly, add to your chocolate to color.

    10. Coat the tops of each rice crispy bar, alternating orientation. Decorate immediately with candy eyes!
