Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 6 cups rice crispy cereal
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Equipment

Recipe Tips

To prevent the rice crispy treats from sticking to your hands, lightly coat your hands with cooking spray or butter before pressing down the mixture into the baking pan. It's also important to let the treats chill in the refrigerator before cutting and dipping them in chocolate to ensure they hold their shape. If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a double boiler on the stove. And most importantly, have fun and get creative with the toppings and flavors you use!
