Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 5.5 cups miniature marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 ½ cups blue candy melts
- 2 tbsp blue sprinkles
- 15 pop sticks
Equipment
- Large pot
- Airtight container
- Silicone spatula
- 9×13 pan
- Parchment paper
Yields: 15 pops.
Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 10 minutes | Chill time: about 1 hour
Instructions
Step 1: Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Step 3: Add the miniature marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Step 4: Remove the pot from heat and fold in the Rice Krispies until evenly coated.
Step 5: Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Allow it to set at room temperature for about an hour, or until firm.
Step 6: Remove the set Rice Krispies slab from the pan and cut into 15 rectangles.
Step 7: Insert a pop stick into each rectangle, pressing it in securely but gently so the treat doesn’t break apart.
Step 8: Melt the blue candy melts according to the package directions, using a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler for a smooth coating.
Step 9: Hold each Krispie pop by the stick and dip one end into the melted candy, covering it evenly. Place the dipped pop onto parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with blue sprinkles so they adhere while the coating is still wet.
Allow the candy coating to fully set before serving. Once hardened, arrange the pops on a platter or wrap them individually for gifts or party favors.
