Ingredients

6 cups Rice Krispy Cereal
60 large marshmallows
3 tablespoons butter
16 ounce vanilla candy coating, we used H.E.B. brand
Holiday sprinkles

Instructions

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the marshmallows and let cook until fully melted and smooth, about 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the rice cereal and stir until fully combined with the marshmallow. Turn off heat.
Let mixture cool for just a minute before rolling tablespoon scoops into balls.
Place rolled balls onto a piece of wax paper. Repeat until the mixture is gone.
Melt the white chocolate according to package directions.
Once the chocolate is melted, place a few Krispie treat balls into the chocolate and fully coat. Remove and place on wax paper. Continue until all the bites are coated.
Sprinkle with holiday sprinkles and let sit until chocolate has fully set and hardened.

Notes

Stir constantly while melting the marshmallows: This helps the mixture stay smooth and prevents scorching.
Work while the mixture is warm: The cereal mixture is much easier to roll before it cools and firms up.
Use a tablespoon scoop: This helps keep the bites similar in size so they look neat on a serving platter.
Lightly butter your hands: A little butter makes rolling the sticky mixture much easier.
Avoid packing the balls too tightly: Gentle pressure is enough to help them hold their shape without making them too dense.
Keep the candy coating smooth: Follow the package directions and avoid overheating it.
Add sprinkles immediately: The decorations need to go on before the coating sets, or they may not stick.
Let them harden completely: Give the bites enough time to set before stacking or packaging them to avoid smudging the coating.
