Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 3 cups marshmallows (preferably fresh)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients measured and ready to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until they dissolve into a smooth, gooey mixture, forming the binding base.
  3. Add Chocolate and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate melts fully and the mixture is silky and combined.
  4. Mix in the Cereal: Pour the crispy rice cereal into the chocolate-marshmallow mixture and gently fold it in with a spatula, distributing evenly without crushing the cereal.
  5. Shape the Balls: While warm but cool enough to handle, grease your hands lightly and roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. Place on parchment paper and let set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm.

Notes

  • Use fresh marshmallows for the smoothest melting and best binding.
  • Add chocolate chips off the heat to avoid seizing and keep a glossy texture.
  • Grease hands lightly with butter to prevent sticking during rolling.
  • Work quickly to shape the balls before the mixture hardens.
  • Store balls in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated to maintain freshness.
