Ingredients
For the cookies
- 9 cups rice krispie cereal
- 20 ounces marshmallows mini or large
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the decorating
- 10 oz white chocolate
- candy for the eyes your choice of what you use
Instructions
- Grease and line with parchment paper a 9 x 13 inch baking sheet or pan. If using a baking sheet, make sure it's a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.
- In a large pot set over medium heat, add the butter. Give a good stir and let it melt completely. This will take about 2 minutes. Add the marshmallows and stir immediately and allow the marshmallows to melt as you stir the mixture. This will take about 2 – 3 minutes. Depending on if you are using mini or large marshmallows. Instantly remove from heat once the marshmallows are melted.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt and stir. Add the cereal and stir with a wooden spoon until it's completely incorporated.
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking dish. This will be really sticky and you will need to scrape it out of the pot. Using the back of a wooden spoon, evenly spread out the rice krispie mixture. Flatten it out and make sure it's evenly spread out. Add sprinkles over the top.
- Leave to set for about an hour.
- Place the chocolate in a double boiler set over simmering water. Stir until it melts, about 2 - 3 minutes. Immediately remove from heat.
- Place the hot melted chocolate into a zip lock bag. Cut a tiny corner off the ziplock bag. Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the rice krispie treats.
- Top with candy for the eyes. Leave to set the chocolate for about 30 minutes. Serve straight away or place in an airtight container to serve later.

Notes
- Melting marshmallows - It's always best to do this over a lower to medium heat. And make sure to use a large pot. Stir as the marshmallows melt otherwise they will stick and burn in the pan. Immediately remove from the heat when it's melted.
- Adding the rice krispies - Make sure to do this immediately when the marshmallows have melted. Use a sturdy wooden spoon to stir.
- Flattening in a cookie sheet - This is sticky and will stick to a spatula or spoon as you flatten it out. It's best to dip the spoon or spatula into water and then flatten out the rice krispie mixture. Keep your spoon wet throughout the process.
- Melting chocolate - Always melt chocolate in a double boiler. Or you can place a glass bowl over a simmering pot of water. Don't have the heat too high or the chocolate may seize. Which mean it will melt and then harden. You want to melt it slowly and stir as it melts. Immediately remove from heat when it has melted.
- Decorating - I find a ziplock bag works really well for piping on the chocolate. Just make sure to cut the tip really fine. You can use whatever kind of candy you like for the eyes.
