Ingredients

- 6 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispie cereal
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk or dark chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers or white chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil, separated
- Orange food coloring, a few drops as needed
Kitchen Tools Used
- 2 disposable pie pans or round cake pans
- Large saucepan
- Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Non-stick spray
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 2 hours
Instructions
To Prep: Coat each of your pie pans with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. If using regular round cake pans, you’ll want to spray them generously with non-stick spray AND line the bottom with parchment paper so the rice krispie treats can be removed from the pans easily.
- Add marshmallows and butter to a large saucepan and cook over low heat until melted, stirring frequently. Stir in a few drops of orange food coloring and the vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into a large bowl containing the rice cereal. Mix until well combined.
- Divide the marshmallow mixture in half and scoop into two disposable pie pans. Place in the fridge to set for 1-2 hours. When the treats have set, cut each pie pan of rice krispie treats into 8 even triangular-shaped slices.
- Place the white chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and the milk chocolate chips into a separate microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, stir, then continue heating in 15-second intervals until melted. Stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil into each type of melted chocolate, until smooth. (If using white candy melts, you don’t need to add coconut oil).
- Dip the tip of each rice krispie treat into the white chocolate and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to dry. Repeat with all of the treats. When the white chocolate is dry, dip the opposite end of the rice krispie treats in the milk chocolate.

Prep Tips
- Pans – You can use disposable pie pans or regular round cake pans for this recipe. If using regular pans, be sure to coat well with non-stick spray and line the bottom with parchment so you can remove the rice krispie treats easily, without affecting the shape.
- Chocolate vs. Candy Melts – Melting wafers and candy melts are both formulated with ingredients to help them melt smoothly. Candy melts are not technically chocolate, but look and taste similar. Melting wafers are a type of chocolate that is specifically intended for melting and making candy or candy coating, such as this recipe. However, you can also use regular chocolate chips. If using chocolate chips, stirring in coconut oil or shortening helps them melt more smoothly.
- Storage – Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you’d like to make this dessert in advance, you can freeze your rice krispie treats. Wrap individually and place into a large freezer bag. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Coconut Oil – Coconut oil helps make chocolate chips melt smoothly and dry evenly. You don’tย have to use it, but without this added touch, the chocolate coating may look dry or splotchy. If you don’t have coconut oil on hand or have any allergy concerns, you could also use shortening for this step. If using melting wafers, you don’t need to add any coconut oil.
