Ingredients
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
10 ounces mini marshmallows
ΒΌ cup unsalted butter
1 cup maraschino cherries, finely chopped
Semi-sweet chocolate (for drizzling or layering)
Instructions
Prep the Cereal:
Measure out the Rice Krispies cereal and set it aside in a large bowl.
Melt Marshmallows and Butter:
In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter and mini marshmallows together.
Stir continuously until smooth and fully melted.
Mix Everything Together:
Add the cereal and chopped maraschino cherries to the melted marshmallow mixture.
Stir until everything is evenly combined and tinted a pretty pink hue.
Press Into the Pan:
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
Transfer the mixture to the pan and press it in evenly using a spatula or clean hands.
Add the Chocolate:
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler.
Drizzle over the top for a light finish, or spread a full layer for a more decadent touch.
Cool and Cut:
Let the treats cool completely at room temperature.
Once set, lift from the pan using the parchment paper and slice into squares.
Serve and Enjoy:
Enjoy these sweet, chewy squares packed with cherry flavor and topped with rich chocolate!
