- Parchment paper
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups puffed rice cereal
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cup marshmallow fluff optional
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional for melting
- 0.5 cup red, green, and white sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and optional fluff. Stir continuously until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Gently fold in the puffed rice cereal until fully coated. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes until warm but safe to handle.
- Grease your hands lightly and roll the mixture into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring between each. Add coconut oil if needed.
- Dip each ball into melted chocolate. Lift with a fork, tap off extra chocolate, and place back on parchment. Immediately top with sprinkles.
- Let the balls set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Once firm, store or serve.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Use parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
