Noted Ingredients For Chocolate Covered Rice Krispie Treats

What are the main ingredients needed to make delicious chocolate covered rice krispie treats? The ingredients needed for this delicious treat resonate deeply so you must use top-quality ingredients for better taste. Here is the list of ingredients:

Butter

You can use whatever you have in your kitchen fridge salted butter or unsalted butter. I used unsalted butter because salt is already mentioned in the ingredients list of Rice Krispie grains.

Marshmallows

I used the pack of white mini marshmallows. Fresh marshmallows provide more rich and mouth-watering taste, but good quality ready-made marshmallows are also tasty.

Vanilla Extract

A small shot of vanilla extract is ever-promising with a marshmallow mixture. It enhances the flavor of the creamy marshmallow mixture.

Rice Krispie Grain

I used Kellogg’s Rice Krispies brand, but you can use your favorite brand that is easily available at your nearby supermarket.

Cooking Chocolate

Cooking chocolate is best for coating the rice krispie squares because it is less sweet and has a rich strong chocolate flavor that goes well with sweet marshmallows. You can also use the bars of your favorite chocolate like Galaxy, Dairy Milk, and Hershey’s.

Salt & Butter

Mix the butter in melted chocolate to provide a smooth and silky touch to the chocolate. Salt helps to balance the sweetness of chocolate.

Sprinkles & Cute Little Ribbon Bows

Colorful sprinkles, buntees, and chopped walnuts are the best options to garnish the chocolate-covered rice krispie squares. Knot the ribbon bows on lollipop sticks also glamorize your instant party dessert.

Except Marshmallows

Except for marshmallows, you can mix your favorite ingredients to make Rice Krispies squares. For instance, add butterscotch toffee, graham crackers with chocolate syrup, and roasted nuts with peanut butter.

White Chocolate
