Ingredients
Scale
Rice Krispie Treats
- 8 Rice Krispies Treats Bars (0.78 oz each, or equivalent homemade Rice Krispie treats)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 Cup Dark Cocoa Candy Melts
- 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil, divided
Decorations
- 1/4 Cup Bright Pink Candy Melts
- Sprinkles (about 3 tbsp, color of choice)
- Eight 6” Paper Straws (for pops)
Instructions
- Insert straws: Firmly press each 6-inch paper straw about three-quarters of the way into each Rice Krispie treat bar. This creates a handle to hold the treat like a pop.
- Melt dark chocolate: Place the dark cocoa candy melts and half of the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe cup or small bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each, until fully melted and smooth. This should take approximately 90 seconds in total.
- Dip in chocolate: Dip half of each Rice Krispie pop into the melted dark chocolate, allowing excess to drip off or gently wiping off the excess on the inside rim of the cup to avoid thick clumps.
- Add sprinkles: Press the bottom half of the dipped pop firmly into the sprinkles so they stick to the chocolate. Place the pops on a flat surface with the sprinkle side down, and allow to dry until the chocolate hardens, about 20 minutes.
- Melt pink candy melts: Repeat the melting process with the bright pink candy melts and the remaining vegetable oil. Let the melted candy cool slightly, about five minutes, to avoid melting the first chocolate layer when drizzling.
- Drizzle pink candy: Using a fork, quickly but carefully drizzle the pink candy melts over the chocolate-covered parts of the Rice Krispie pops. Allow the drizzle to harden. Optionally, repeat the drizzle on the other side for more decoration.
Notes
- Use homemade Rice Krispie treats for a fresher flavor or store-bought bars for convenience.
- Ensure candy melts are fully melted but not too hot to prevent melting the treats or sprinkles.
- Use paper straws as eco-friendly and sturdy handles for easy holding.
- Customize sprinkles color and candy melt colors to fit any occasion or theme.
- Store treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
