Ingredients

  • ¾ cup butter
  • 20 ounces mini marshmallows
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 9 cups crispy rice cereal
  • drops Orange gel food coloring
  • 2 (10 oz) Ghirardelli white chocolate melting discs or equivalent
  • yellow sprinkles

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
  2. Grease a cookie sheet with butter or line with parchment paper.
  3. Using a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  4. Add marshmallows in a large pan over medium heat. Mix until melted and smooth.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and rice krispie cereal. Mix till all the cereal is evenly coated in the marshmallow.
  6. Pour the hot mixture onto the cookie sheet and gently spread it out. Do not press down, just stretch the mixture to spread and gently using the back of a spatula press smooth.
  7. While still warm, cut the rice krispie mixture into big triangles with a large knife.
  8. While still warm, take each triangle and gently shape each one at a time. Be careful not to smash or press too firmly.
  9. Pour yellow sprinkles into a medium bowl and set aside for later.
  10. Next in a microwave safe bowl follow the directions on the package for melting only half the white candy melting discs. I highly recommend using Ghirardelli’s melting disks. They take longer to dry, but they don’t get hard if melted a little too long.
  11. Dip each triangle shaped krispie treat’s point-first into the white melt.
  12. Until done.
  13. In a microwave safe bowl melt the remaining white melting discs. Stir in the orange food coloring gel. Add the coloring until you have the shade of orange you like. Stir completely to blend.
  14. Then dip each krispie treat long side (not the point) first into the orange candy melt.
  15. While the orange part is still wet, dip the very top of the treat into the bowl of the yellow sprinkles.
  16. Replace each treat onto the cookie sheet to allow them to dry completely.

Notes

  • Storage:Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
  • To clarify, the Ghirardelli white candy melting discs are not the chocolate melts.
  • If these treats are squished down too much they will be thin, more dense, and hard.
  • Think big, thick and light while spreading the mixture and only press lightly with a flat spatula to spread the mixture.
  • When shaping the treats to keep the mixture from covering your hands, coat your hands in some butter and gently shape and spread the mixture. Again do not press too firmly.
