The thing I love about Disney is the wide variety of treats they have. From the classic to seasonal favorites, simple treats or specialty treats, everything is always so yummy!
One great option if you’re on the go are their Mickey Rice Krispie treats. This classic treat comes in tons of different flavors, but one of my favorites is the M&M topped ones. So let’s recreate this yummy Disney treat at home!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Rice Krispie treats are one of the easiest things you could ever make. They only require a few ingredients and it’s super easy to make them into magical Mickey treats! Here’s what you’ll need:
• Rice Krispies cereal
• Mini marshmallows
• Unsalted butter
• Vanilla
• Salt
• Milk chocolate chips
• Candy coated chocolate candies
• Mickey cookie cutter
HOW TO MAKE THE MICKEY RICE KRISPIES
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is all melted, add the entire bag of mini marshmallows. Using a rubber spatula, stir the marshmallows and butter until the marshmallows have completely melted down.
After the mixture is completely melted, add the vanilla and salt and stir to incorporate. Remove mixture from heat.
Next, add in 5 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Stir into the marshmallow mixture until they’re completely coated. If you like gooey Rice Krispies like I do, stop here. If you want them less gooey, add the 6th cup of Rice Krispies and stir until well combined.
When the Rice Krispie mixture is done, pour the mixture onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Then, wet your hands with water and push the Rice Krispies down so they’re nice and even.
Let the tray sit on the counter for a few hours so the treats can set. Once they’re set, take a Mickey shaped cookie cutter and cut out as many as you can fit.
As you cut them out, the bottom side will be more sticky. Place them sticky side up onto another parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Allow them to sit like this for about an hour to set more.
If you want to add popsicle sticks to your treats, now is the time to do it. Stick the popsicle stick about halfway into each treat and allow them to set after.
Once your treats are set, melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave.
Next, coat one side of each Mickey Rice Krispie with chocolate. I tried dipping the first one and it didn’t work as well. The coating was uneven so I recommend using a spoon and spreading the chocolate on like that. Place each chocolate coated Rice Krispie back onto the cookie sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, cover the tops of the Rice Krispies with candy coated chocolate candies. Press them on so they don’t fall off. Allow the chocolate to set.
After you’ve coated each Rice Krispie in chocolate, take what’s left of the melted chocolate and put it into a sandwich bag. Snip off the corner so it pipes a tiny stream of chocolate. Drizzle the chocolate in a zig-zag pattern over all the Mickey Rice Krispies. Allow the chocolate to set completely. Enjoy!
MICKEY RICE KRISPIES PRINTABLE RECIPE
Mickey Rice Krispies
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 5-6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Pinch of salt
To assemble:
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- Candy coated chocolate candies
- Popsicle sticks optional
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the bag of marshmallows and using a rubber spatula, stir often until the marshmallows are completely melted down.
- Add the vanilla and salt, stir to incorporate and remove from heat.
- Add 5 cups of Rice Krispies to the butter/marshmallow mixture. Stir until well combined. If you like gooey Rice Krispie treats, stop here. If you want more cereal, you can add the last cup and stir until well incorporated.
- Dump the Rice Krispie mixture onto the parchment lined cookie sheet. Wet your hands with water and press the Rice Krispies into the cookie sheet. (This prevents them from sticking to your hands- you may need to wet them multiple times.)
- Allow the Rice Krispie treats to sit on the counter at room temperature for a few hours so they can set.
- Once the Rice Krispies are set, line another cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a Mickey shaped cookie cutter, cut out your treats. The bottom of the treats will be more sticky so place them sticky side up on the second cookie sheet.
- If you want to add popsicles sticks to your Rice Krispie treats, now is the time to add them but it’s totally optional. Slide them in so that they’re about halfway into each treat.
- Allow the cut out treats to sit on the counter for about an hour.
- Next, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Using a spoon, coat one side of each Rice Krispie treat in chocolate.
- While the chocolate on the Rice Krispies is still wet, cover each treat with candy coated chocolate candies.
- Once all the Rice Krispies are coated, take the remaining melted chocolate and put it into a sandwich bag. Snip off the corner and drizzle chocolate over each Mickey rice krispy treat.
- Leave the treats to set on the counter for about an hour or until the chocolate is completely set. Enjoy!
