It is a good idea to measure your Crisp Rice and lubricate your pan and have you food color, if youre coloring the rice, and vanilla out and ready to go.
-
2
Once you get the marshmallows in the pot they need quite a lot of attention to keep them from burning or turning brown.
-
3
Lubricate 13x9 pan with butter or non-stick spray.
-
4
Spraying is easiest, butter tastes better.
-
5
Measure out 6 cups of Rice KrispiesTM in to a bowl big enough to hold them.
-
6
Melt 4 Tbls butter (1/2 stick) butter in a 6 to 8 qrt pot, over medium heat.
-
7
Sometimes I use up to 6 Tbls It all depends on how rich I want to make it.
-
8
Once the butter has just melted, dump a 1 10oz bag of marshmallows in with the butter.
-
9
It is best if you keep stirring as much as possible.
-
10
It will take a few minutes for the marshmallows to melt, once they do its time to add the vanilla and food color.
-
11
A quick note about the food coloring; depending on how dark you want the Krispies to appear you will need a lot of food color, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 of a bottle.
-
12
Once the food color is all mixed in, turn off the burner and dump in the Rice Krispies.
-
13
Fold them in until everything is well mixed.
-
14
Then dump it in to the 13x9 pan.
-
15
You will now need to press them down flat.
-
16
I usually use the wax paper from the butter.
-
17
You can also spray your fingers with the non-stick spray.
-
18
Next put the chocolate chips into the microwave safe bowl (glass works best) then place the bowl into the microwave and microwave on high for about 15 to 20 seconds.
-
19
Then check to see if they have stared to melt.
-
20
It may take 2 to three cycles of 15 to 20 seconds.
-
21
Dont be temped to let it run.
-
22
Its very easy to burn the chocolate.
-
23
Stir the chocolate chips after every cycle and stop once they have melted.
-
24
Pour the melted chocolate over the first layer for Krispies, using a rubber or silicone spatula to even it out.
-
25
No comes the best part.
-
26
Lick the bowl and spatula clean of all chocolate residue.
-
27
Now make the second batch of Rice Krispies.
-
28
If you are coloring make this batch a different color than the first.
-
29
Pour it over the first batch and smooth this one out too.
-
30
Let them cool and cut them into one inch squares.
-
31
I know these seem a little small but remember theyre twice as thick and they have chocolate in the middle.

Enjoy!
