Recipe Tips

Be sure to use mini marshmallows for this recipe as they melt more quickly and evenly than regular-sized marshmallows. When spreading the melted chocolate over the rice krispie mixture, be sure to work quickly as the chocolate will start to harden as it cools. If you prefer a thicker layer of chocolate, double the amount of chocolate chips and vegetable oil used in the recipe. Store any leftover squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
