Ingredients
  

For the Treats
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal Can swap with any crispy rice cereal
  • 5 cups Mini Marshmallows Use vegan marshmallows for dairy-free
  • 3 tablespoons Salted Butter Vegan butter works as well
For the Coating
  • 1 cup White Candy Melts/White Chocolate Chips Non-dairy versions available
  • 1 cup Dark Cocoa Candy Melts Can swap for chocolate chips or melted dark chocolate

Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • piping bag or zip-top bag
  • Parchment Paper
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by melting dark cocoa candy melts in the microwave; heat in 30-second intervals to avoid burning, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe small teardrop shapes onto parchment paper and freeze for about 10 minutes until hardened.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of salted butter over low heat. Once melted, add 5 cups of mini marshmallows and 1 cup of white chocolate chips. Stir constantly for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the melted mixture over 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal in a greased bowl. Gently fold together until each piece of cereal is fully coated.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes. Pinch off about 12 portions, roughly ½ cup each, and roll them into balls. Shape each ball into a teardrop form.
  5. Press two teardrop eyes onto each treat, securing them with a touch of melted candy if necessary.
  6. Place the treats on a cooling rack or plate and allow them to set at room temperature for about an hour.
