Recipe Tips

When melting the chocolate chips and vegetable oil, be sure to stir the mixture in between 30 second intervals to prevent burning. You can also melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler if you prefer.

If you want to make these treats ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

If you want to make these treats gluten-free, be sure to use a gluten-free brand of Rice Krispies cereal.

If you want to add a little extra crunch to these treats, try adding some chopped nuts or sprinkles to the melted chocolate before pouring it over the treats.

If you want to make these treats a little healthier, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil and use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet chocolate chips.
