Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack instant ramen noodles (uncooked, seasoning packet discarded)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Break the instant ramen noodle block into small pieces, roughly the size of cereal flakes. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until they are fully melted and combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the broken ramen pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Transfer the coated ramen mixture onto the baking sheet and press it into a flat, even layer using a spatula or your hands (slightly greased to prevent sticking).
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pressed ramen layer and spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
If desired, sprinkle the top with colorful sprinkles for added texture and visual appeal.
Let the dessert set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once set, cut the dessert into squares or break into irregular chunks. Serve and enjoy!
