Chocolate Valentine’s Day Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
To make these delicious chocolate candy-coated Rice Krispie treats, follow these simple directions.
You’ll need:
- 8 Rice Krispies Treats Bars (0.78 oz), or equivalent amount of homemade bars
- 1 Cup Dark Cocoa Candy Melts
- 1/4 Cup Bright Pink Candy Melts
- 1 tbsp. Vegetable Oil
- Sprinkles, in color of choice (about 3 tbsp.)
- Eight 6” Paper Straws
Directions:
Hold Rice Krispie Treat in palm of hand and firmly press straw about 3/4 of the way in.
In a microwave-safe cup (mason jars work great), heat dark cocoa candy melts with half of vegetable oil. Heat in 30 second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted, or about 90 seconds.
Dip half of the pop into the chocolate, let excess drip off or gently wipe off excess on the inside rim of the cup.
Firmly press bottom of pop into sprinkles.
Allow to dry on a flat surface, sprinkle side down, until chocolate hardens (about 20 minutes).
Repeat the candy melting process for the pink candy melts, using remaining vegetable oil.
Allow them to cool slightly, about five minutes, then use a fork to quickly drizzle over the chocolate-covered portion of the pops.
Allow them to harden, then repeat on other side if desired.
Makes: 8 pops | Total Time: 1 hr
This recipe is simple enough for the kids to help with or even make by themselves. And we’re sure there won’t be any problems getting your picky eaters to eat them!
