Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 cups marshmallows
- 3 cups crispy cereal, such as Rice Krispies
- 8 oz. semisweet chocolate bar, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
Directions
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
-
In a large sauce pan, melt butter over medium-low heart. Add the marshmallows and frequently stir over the heat while they melt. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the cereal until coated.
-
Working quickly, shape the sticky crispy mixture into small bite sized pieces and layer on the lined baking sheet. (spray your hands with cooking spray to keep mixture from sticking while shaping.) Set aside and prepare the chocolate.
-
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of shimmering water over low heat. Remove from heat when completely melted. Using a toothpick, dip the crispy bites, one at a time, into the chocolate and turn to coat. Scrape against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then return the chocolate covered Crispies to the lined pan.
-
Once all crispy poppers are dipped in the chocolate, let set a few hours until chocolate hardens. If the chocolate doesn’t set, place the poppers in the refrigerator.
