How to Make Holiday Rice Crispy Toffee Treats
- Place 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter in a large, microwave-safe mixing bowl.
- Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes, or until completely melted. Stir to ensure even melting.
- Add 20 ounces (about 4 cups) of marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are fully coated and begin to melt.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir well. Microwave for another minute, stirring after 30 seconds. Microwave for a final 30 seconds and stir until completely smooth and melted.
- Remove from microwave. Gently stir in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and 1 cup of toffee chips until evenly coated.
- Grease a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray and line it with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Pour the Rice Krispies mixture into the prepared pan. Using buttered hands or a spatula, press the mixture evenly into the pan.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
- Once firm, lift the Rice Krispies mixture out of the pan using the foil overhang.
- Carefully peel off the foil.
- Use assorted holiday-themed cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes.
- Insert a small wooden skewer or lollipop stick into each treat.
- Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips according to package directions. Drizzle melted chocolate over the treats, if desired.
- (Optional Variation) For a delicious twist, stir in 1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter along with the marshmallows for a peanut butter toffee treat! Proceed with steps 5-13.
