Title: Lump Of Coal Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
Ingredients:
– 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
– 1 package (10 ounces) of marshmallows
– 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
– 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips
– Black food coloring gel
– Cooking spray
Instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once the butter has melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add a few drops of the black food coloring gel to the marshmallow mixture, stirring until you achieve the desired color for your “coal.”
3. Quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal to the saucepan and gently fold it into the marshmallow mixture until the cereal is evenly coated and everything is well combined.
4. Next, fold in the mini chocolate chips until they are distributed throughout the mixture, resembling coal pieces in the treats.
5. Prepare a baking sheet by lightly spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Using a spoon or your hands (lightly greased with cooking spray), take portions of the mixture and shape them into small lumps resembling coal pieces. You can also use a greased spoon to scoop out portions and shape them into rounded lumps.
6. Place the shaped treats onto the prepared baking sheet and allow them to cool and set for at least 30 minutes before serving to ensure they hold their shape.
7. Once the treats have set, they are ready to enjoy! Serve them at your next holiday gathering or give them as a playful gift that is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
