Ingredients

Scale

Base Mixture

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 8 cups mini marshmallows (about 14 ounces), divided
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup regular M&M candies

Topping

  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini M&M candies

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Heat the butter in a large pot over low heat until it is fully melted, preparing the base for the marshmallows.
  2. Melt Marshmallows: Add 6 cups of the mini marshmallows to the pot with the melted butter, stirring constantly over low heat until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Combine Cereal and Remaining Marshmallows: Immediately remove the pot from the heat, then stir in the Rice Krispies cereal along with the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows. Mix thoroughly to coat the cereal evenly.
  4. Add M&Ms: Stir in the 1 cup of regular-sized M&M candies to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Press into Pan: Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Use a piece of greased wax paper to gently press the mixture down so it forms a compact, uniform layer.
  6. Melt Chocolate Chips: Place the milk chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and melt them in short bursts of about 15 seconds, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  7. Drizzle Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the Rice Krispies treats in an even layer and use a spatula or spoon to spread it gently.
  8. Top with Mini M&Ms: Sprinkle the 1 cup of mini M&M candies over the melted chocolate and lightly press them down to ensure they adhere to the chocolate layer.
  9. Set and Serve: Let the treats sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours to allow the chocolate to set before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use greased wax paper to press the mixture without sticking.
  • You can substitute the Rice Krispies cereal with another puffed rice cereal if desired.
  • Ensure the chocolate chips are melted smoothly to create a nice, even drizzle on top.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness up to 3 days.
  • Pressing the mixture firmly into the pan helps the treats hold their shape when cut.
