Rice Krispy Treats are the New Cake Pops

I think my current goal is to make Rice Krispy Treats the new must-have dessert.  As popular as cake pops at birthdays and cupcakes at weddings.

Cake Pops
!

I’ve already made the 4th of July version as well as the white/purple/pink version.  And let’s not forget the epic rainbow version that has yet to get any repins on pinterest.

You can understand how excited I was when I was asked to make “paint brush rice krispy treats” for Lana’s 3rd birthday.  Yet another rice krispy “recipe” to add to my list!

Ingredients (double batch)

12 cups rice krispies1 stick of butter
1 Tbs Vanilla
2 10 oz bags of marshmallows

Wilton candy melts
Vegetable Oil
Sticks

1.  Melt the butter, vanilla and marshmallows in the microwave.
2.  Mix in rice krispies
3.  Press into a jelly roll pan
4.  Let cool and cut into 1″ x 1.5-2″ pieces
5.  Melt the candy.  I used about 1/2 of a cup of unmelted chips + 1.5tsp of vegetable oil
6.  Dip the stick into a plain color (I used white) and then put the stick in the rice krispy treat – repeat with all the rice krispy treats
7.  Dip the treats into a colored chocolate.  Then tip it upright and tap a few times on the counter – this will help make them look “drippy” (the oil help makes the chocolate drip a bit better)8.  I cooled them on styrofoam blocks – you can lay them down if you want, but I think they look a bit better if they try upright.
9. Voila!

I added the paint palette afterwards.  I wanted to make sure people knew that the “drips” were on purpose and not me being sloppy.  Yeah, that thought literally went through my head.

Happy Monday!
