Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 ounces White chocolate or candy melts
- 0.25 cups Sprinkles or other decorations
- 24 pieces Lollipop sticks or sturdy straws
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix quickly and thoroughly until the cereal is evenly coated with the melted marshmallows.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a greased spatula (or press with lightly oiled hands) to gently flatten the mixture into an even layer. Do not compress too firmly, as this can make the treats too dense.
Allow the mixture to cool and set for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
Once set, cut the treats into small rectangles or squares, roughly 2x1 inches in size.
Gently insert a lollipop stick or straw into each rectangle, being careful not to push it all the way through.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip the top half of each Rice Krispy Pop into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
Immediately decorate the chocolate-dipped portion with sprinkles or other desired toppings before the chocolate sets.
Place the decorated pops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to fully harden (this will take about 20 minutes).
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
