Delicious and easy-to-make Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls, combining melted semi-sweet chocolate, mini marshmallows, and crispy Rice Krispie cereal for a sweet, chewy, and crunchy treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 8 ounces semi sweet chocolate (225g)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Cereal

  • 2 cups Rice Krispie cereal

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: Slowly melt the chocolate in a heavy-bottomed pot over low to medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning and ensure a smooth texture.
  2. Add vanilla extract: Once the chocolate is completely melted, stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  3. Combine marshmallows: Add 2 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted chocolate mixture and stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and blended.
  4. Mix in Rice Krispies: Remove the pot from heat and fold in 2 cups of Rice Krispie cereal, mixing gently until all the cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate-marshmallow mixture.
  5. Form balls: With clean hands, form the mixture into six firm balls, pressing tightly to hold their shape.
  6. Set the balls: Place the formed balls on parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent the chocolate from scorching.
  • Press the mixture firmly when forming balls to prevent them from falling apart.
  • You can customize by adding nuts or sprinkles for extra texture.
  • Store the Rice Krispie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a vegan option, substitute semi-sweet chocolate and marshmallows with vegan alternatives.
