M&M Rice Krispies Treats

thick and chewy rice krispies treats topped with chocolate and m&m candies.

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.
