Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 8 cups mini marshmallows (about 14 ounces), divided
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Mix-ins and Topping

  • 1 cup regular M&M candies
  • 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 fully melted, creating a smooth base for the marshmallow mixture.
  2. Combine Marshmallows: Add 6 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly over low heat until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Mix Cereal and Remaining Marshmallows: Remove the pot from heat immediately and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal along with the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Add M&M Candies: Fold in the regular-sized M&M candies gently to distribute them throughout the mixture without melting them.
  5. Press Mixture Into Pan: Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Use a piece of greased wax paper to press the mixture evenly and lightly down into the pan to create a uniform layer.
  6. Melt Chocolate Chips: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips in short 15-second bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  7. Drizzle Chocolate Over Treats: Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed Rice Krispies treats and spread it evenly to cover the top surface.
  8. Add Mini M&Ms: Sprinkle the mini M&M candies over the chocolate layer and gently press them down to ensure they adhere well to the surface.

Notes

  • Use greased wax paper to prevent sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.
  • You can substitute mini marshmallows with regular marshmallows if unavailable, but chopping them into smaller pieces is recommended.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the marshmallow mixture to balance the sweetness.
  • Allow treats to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean edges.
  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
