Decadent Chocolate Covered Rice Krispie Treats
The smooth, creamy chocolate just melts in your mouth. Corn syrup gives these treats an inviting glossy look, toasted coconut marshmallows add a rich flavor, and you can top these with any color candy, or even omit them. These went fast at our last Christmas party. We couldn't stop eating them!

DIRECTIONS
- For The Rice Krispie Treats: Grease a 13x9x2 pan and set aside. In a large saucepan, melt the butter or margerine over low heat, then add the marshmallows and stir until melted.
- Remove from heat, and using a buttered spatula stir in the cereal until all of it is coated with the marshmallows.
- Press cereal into the greased pan with the spatula. Let cool.
- To Make The Ganache: Using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate, butter, and salt together, stirring often. Add the milk slowly, using more as necessary to reach a creamy consistency.
- Add the corn syrup slowly while stirring, until you see the chocolate turn glossy.
- Pour chocolate over Rice Krispie Treats and allow to cool for 5 minutes before dotting with candies (I made 5 rows of 10 pieces of candy, which made it easy to cut 50 squares of treats).
- Cool at room temperature, cut into squares, and enjoy!
- *NOTE: You can substitute 4 cups of mini marshmallows for all the marshmallows in the recipe if you prefer.
