Main Ingredients Needed

This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 | Prepare the Rice Krispie Treats

• First, push the colorful straws into the centers of each Rice Krispie Treat.
• Set aside while you melt the chocolate.

Step 2 | How to melt White Chocolate Chips

• The best way to melt white chocolate is to use a double boiler. By melting the chocolate over simmering water, you can control the temperature more easily and prevent the chocolate from burning.
• Be careful not to overcook the chocolate, or it will become burnt and unusable.

Step 3 | Decorate the Treats

• Once the chocolate chips are melted, you can begin dipping the Rice Krispie Treats. Only dip half of the treat in the melted chocolate.
• Immediately dip the treats into the colored sprinkles.
• Set them on a baking rack or a baking tray lined with parchment paper to completely dry.

• Store the treats at room temperature; not in the refrigerator.
• I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
