Ingredients
Scale
Rice Crispy Bars
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 10 ounces Dandies marshmallows
- 6 cups gluten-free rice crisp cereal
White Chocolate Coating
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 24 dark chocolate chips (about 1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: Microwave the butter and marshmallows in a large bowl for one minute and 30 seconds, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
- Combine with Cereal: Add the gluten-free rice crisp cereal to the melted mixture and stir until the cereal is completely coated and combined.
- Press and Chill: Press the mixture evenly into a parchment paper-lined 9×13 inch pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the bars to fully set.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a medium-sized bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave for one minute, stirring at the 30-second mark until smooth.
- Cut Bars: Remove the set rice crispy mixture from the fridge and cut into 12 rectangles.
- Dip Bars: Dip each bar halfway into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped bars on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Add Eyes: Quickly press two dark chocolate chips onto each bar to create ghost eyes while the chocolate is still wet.
- Set and Serve: Let the chocolate coating set for at least 10 minutes at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Use gluten-free rice crisp cereal to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- Dandies marshmallows are vegan, making the bars suitable for vegan diets.
- Ensure white chocolate is melted gently to avoid burning—stir frequently.
- Press bars firmly into the pan to ensure they hold their shape well after cutting.
- For easier handling, chill bars before dipping in chocolate.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
