These crispy chocolate dipped rice krispie pencil treats are crunchy, chocolatey, and shaped like pencils, perfect for parties or nostalgic snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (150 grams) Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 10 ounces (280 grams) marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Optional: food coloring
  • Optional: sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large heatproof bowl, combine softened butter and marshmallows. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted, or use a double boiler.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Quickly fold in Rice Krispies cereal, stirring gently but thoroughly.
  5. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and press evenly about 1 inch thick using a buttered spatula or wax paper.
  6. Let cool and set at room temperature for at least 45 minutes or refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  7. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the set slab into pencil-like rectangles about 1 inch wide and 5 inches long.
  8. Melt semisweet chocolate chips with vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  9. Dip half of each pencil treat into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, then place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Refrigerate dipped treats for at least 15 minutes to let chocolate harden before serving.

Notes

Chill the bars thoroughly before dipping to prevent chocolate cracking. Use softened butter, not melted, for best texture. Add vegetable oil to chocolate for a smooth, glossy finish. Work quickly when mixing to prevent marshmallow mixture from setting too soon.
