Red Velvet Rice Krispie Treats
These Red Velvet Rice Krispie Treats are such a fun and special no-bake Valentine's Day dessert made with only 6 common ingredients!
Servings: 16 squares
Equipment
- 9x9-inch baking pan
- wax paper or non-stick cooking spray
- mixing bowl
- measuring cups & spoons
- silicone spatula
Ingredients
- 250 grams marshmallows (mini marshmallows work best)
- ΒΌ cup salted butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (I use dutch-processed cocoa)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon liquid red food colouring
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 ounces melted white chocolate (to drizzle on top)
Instructions
- Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with wax paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, microwave the marshmallows and butter in 20-second increments, stirring between each increment, until melted. Sift in the cocoa powder using a sieve and add the vanilla extract and red food colouring. Stir until fully incorporated before folding in the Rice Krispies just until combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press into the pan and smooth out the top using a spatula sprayed with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up. Remove from the pan and slice into 16 even pieces. Drizzle with the melted white chocolate. You may return the squares to the refrigerator for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. Enjoy!
