Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 2 teaspoon coconut oil separated
- Orange food coloring as needed
Instructions
- Add marshmallows and butter to a large saucepan and heat until melted. Stir in the orange food coloring and vanilla extract.
- Pour marshmallow mixture into a large mixing bowl with the cereal and mix until well incorporated.
- Divide the mixture evenly among two disposable pie pans. Allow to chill until set (1-2 hours).
- Once the treats have set, remove from pans and cut into 8 slices each.
- Heat the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute, stir, then heat in 15 second intervals until melted. If using chocolate chips, stir in coconut oil until smooth. If using melting wafers, you don't need to add coconut oil. Repeat this process for the milk chocolate.
- Dip the tips of each triangle rice krispie in melted white chocolate and set for 10 min on parchment paper. Dip the opposite ends of the treats into the milk chocolate.
- Allow to dry completely.

- 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't 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.
