Calories: 316kcal
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter melted
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
- 12 ounces mini marshmallows divided
- 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 ½ cups tiny pretzel twists broken up into large pieces
- 1 cups Mini Cadbury Eggs divided
Topping Ideas
- Mini Cadbury eggs roughly chopped
- ½ cup ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers
- ½ cup colored wilton candy melts
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Heat some butter and salt on low.
- Add marshmallows to the pot and stir until they melt.
- Take the pot off the heat and mix in cereal, pretzels, candy, and mini marshmallows.
- Pour this mix into a parchment paper-lined pan and spread evenly.
- Melt some candy and drizzle it over the bars from a piping bag.
- Add mini eggs and sprinkles on top.
- Let it harden, then cut and serve.
Notes
- Use fresh marshmallows for best results. If your marshmallows have hardened, they won't melt properly and can result in tough rice crispy treats.
- When melting the marshmallows, keep the heat low to prevent them from burning.
- If your mixture is too sticky to handle, try greasing your hands with a bit of butter or non-stick spray. This will make it easier to press the mixture into the pan.
- Don't press the mixture into the pan too hard. Doing so can make the treats dense and hard. Instead, lightly press it until it's evenly distributed.
- Be patient when letting the treats harden. Cutting them before they've fully set can lead to them falling apart.
- If you have leftover melted chocolate, store it in a ziploc bag and cut off the tip for easy drizzling for future use.
