Chocolate Covered Cherry Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
This Chocolate Covered Cherry Rice Krispie Treats recipe has the flavor of chocolate covered cherries. They are as easy to make as the regular rice krispie treats but give an entirely different twist on an old time favorite.
Ingredients
Units
6 Tbsp. butter
1 1/2 Tbsp. cherry gelatin powder
16 oz. pkg. mini marshmallows
8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
11 oz. dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Place the butter, gelatin powder and mini marshmallows into a large saucepan.
- Melt together over low heat. Stir constantly.
- When the marshmallows are melted, fold in the cereal.
- Press the mixture into a 9×13 inch pan or baking sheet.
- Frost or drizzle with melted chocolate.
- Set for 1 hour. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- You could use strawberry gelatin in place of the cherry.
- To make it easier to press these rice krispie treats into the pan, put a little bit of butter or spray your fingertips with a small amount of cooking spray and then press them in. This will keep the marshmallows from sticking to your fingers and get the job done quick and clean!
