Description
Delicious and fun Circus Animal Cookie Rice Krispie Treats topped with colorful sprinkles and white chocolate drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 9 ounces Circus Animal Cookies
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons multi-colored nonpareils divided
- 3 tablespoons colored sprinkles divided
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- red food coloring
- 12 teaspoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare a 9 X 13-inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.
- Place all of the circus cookies into a food processor and pulse 3 – 4 times until cookies are in both crumbs and small pieces. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cookie pieces to sprinkle on top.
- In a large pot, melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat, stirring often.
- Remove from heat. Add the Rice Krispies, crumbled cookies and 1 tablespoon of the nonpareils and 1 tablespoon of the sprinkles to the pot. Mix until well combined. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of the nonpareils and 1 tablespoon of the sprinkles, and mix again.
- Place the mixture into the prepared baking dish and evenly spread into the pan with a rubber spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumbled cookies on top.
- In two small bowls, place 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until chips are melted and chocolate is smooth and creamy.
- Place the contents of one bowl into a zipper top sandwich bag. Cut a small piece off one of the corners and drizzle over the top of the Rice Krispie treats.
- Put in a very tiny amount red food coloring into the other bowl of melted white chocolate and stir. Add more food coloring until desired hue of pink is achieved. Be cautious with the amount added.
- If the chocolate is becoming too thick to stir, add 1/2 teaspoon of heavy cream and stir until smooth.
- Place the pink chocolate into a zipper top bag, cut a small corner and drizzle in the opposite direction of the white chocolate.
- Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of nonpareils and sprinkles.
- Cool until set.
Notes
- Ensure to not add too much red food coloring as it will turn the chocolate red.
- If the chocolate thickens, a small amount of heavy cream can be added to smooth it out.
