Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 flags
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 package of lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing the surface with cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat and quickly fold in Rice Krispies cereal, stirring gently but thoroughly to ensure even coating.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula or wet hands to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan.
- Allow the Rice Krispie treat mixture to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes.
- Once set, lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment paper and place on a cutting board.
- Cut the treats into rectangular flag-shaped pieces, approximately 3 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and fully melted.
- Carefully insert a lollipop stick into one end of each Rice Krispie treat flag.
- Dip each flag partially or fully into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-covered flags on a parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with decorative sprinkles.
- Refrigerate the flags for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture and melting consistency.
- When pressing the mixture into the pan, use slightly wet hands or a spatula sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- For smooth chocolate coating, melt chocolate in short intervals and stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Work quickly when dipping flags in chocolate to ensure an even, glossy coating.
- Use a variety of sprinkles to match different themes or holidays.
- For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between each slice.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting to maintain their shape.
- Store in a single layer to prevent the flags from sticking together.
- For best flavor and texture, consume within 2-3 days of making.
- Get creative with chocolate types – try white, dark, or even colored candy melts for variety!
