M&M Rice Krispies Treats

These rice krispies treats remind me of the ones you find in a gourmet bakery! So thick and chewy, absolutely loaded with marshmallows, and topped with a ridiculous amount of mini m&m's! Kids and adults both go nuts for these cereal treats.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 8 cups mini marshmallows about 14 ounces divided
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup m&m candies
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini m&m candies

Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a large pot over low heat until melted.
  • Add 6 cups of marshmallows to the pot and melt, stirring constantly.
  • Once the marshmallows are melted, immediately remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Rice Krispies and remaining 2 cups of marshmallows. Stir to coat.
  • Add in the regular sized m&m’s and stir to combine.
  • Spread the mixture into a greased 9×9 baking dish. Use a piece of greased wax paper to press lightly into the pan.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in a small bowl in short bursts about 15 seconds each, stirring each time, until chocolate has melted and is smooth.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the rice krispies treats and spread out to form an even layer of chocolate over the top.
  • Sprinkle with the mini m&m’s and lightly press them down to ensure they stick to the bars.
  • Let sit for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.

Notes

We normally make Rice Krispies Treats in a 9x13 pan, but we wanted these to be extra thick and gooey. If you'd like more bars that are a bit thinner, you can use a 9x13. You may need more melted chocolate and m&m's for topping the bars.
