Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup chopped maraschino cherries (well-drained and patted dry)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Stir in the almond extract.
  3. Add Cereal and Cherries: Remove from heat and quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and chopped maraschino cherries until well combined.
  4. Press into Pan: Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan using a greased spatula or wax paper. Let cool for 15–20 minutes.
  5. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  6. Top with Chocolate: Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the cooled treats. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
  7. Serve: Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure the cherries are very well-drained and patted dry to prevent the treats from getting soggy.
  • For an extra pop of flavor, sprinkle with sea salt before the chocolate sets.
