Rice Krispies Treats Biscotti

This is such a great idea. I found it on the Big Red Kitchen site.

Everyone loved how these looked. I took a big batch over to the neighbor's on Easter.

 

They're actually quite easy to make. The original recipe used melted chocolate instead of Wilton's candy melts. I might try the melted chocolate with red and green sprinkles around Christmas time.

Ingredients:

• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 2 10 ounce bags large marshmallows
• 12 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 2 packages Wilton’s candy melts (I used white)
• Sprinkles

1. Place the butter into a very large pot. Melt over medium-high heat. Brown just slightly.

2. Reduce the heat to low. Add the marshmallows. Stir until melted.

3. Stir in the cereal and stir until completely covered.

4.  Cut a piece of parchment paper just slightly larger than 25 x 7 inches. Spray lightly with cooking spray.

5. Pour the cereal mixture out onto the parchment paper. Using your hands, form into a 25 x 7 inch rectangle. Press down hard with the palms of your hands to pack the cereal tightly. Let cool until completely set.

6. Cut the cereal into bars. I ended up cutting the rectangle in half lengthwise, then into 1" wide sticks.

7. Melt the candy per the package instructions. Pour into a tall plastic cup. Dip the cereal sticks into the melted candy, shake off the excess, and transfer to parchment paper. Sprinkle with the sprinkles and let set.
