Hi Nina, I've eaten chocolate dipped rice krispie treats a month after they were made and they still tasted great. I always store mine in an airtight container at room temperature. The treats that are entirely covered in chocolate will have the best shelf life.
There is no need to refrigerate them. Actually, I don't recommend storing Rice Krispie Treats in the refrigerator. Just place them in an airtight container and let them sit at room temperature. They'll taste fresh for at least 5 days.
The marshmallows are sticky and they hold the cereal together. You can make cereal treats using homemade caramel instead of using marshmallows. You can see that recipe here - howtomakecerealtreats.com/caramel-rice-krispie-treats/ They aren't as sticky as treats made with marshmallows but they taste amazing, especially dipped in chocolate.
I actually allowed them to fully dry on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet but then to display them I used a cake pop display that was custom made for me by Janine from SugarKissed.com. Unfortunately, she is no longer making and selling them.
@@dbuckets1494 Yes, you can use any pure dark chocolate you enjoy eating. Just be sure to temper it. If you use Ghirardelli Melting Wafers (in the red stand-up bag), you do not need to temper them. You can simply melt, dip, and chill. They will harden beautifully.
You need to allow the rice krispie treats to firm up and cool before cutting them and dipping them in the chocolate. I would let them rest for at least 30 minutes but longer would be better.
My recipe is not the same as the one on the box. We tasted tested 20 versions of the recipe to find the very best. You can find the printable recipe and the taste test results here - howtomakecerealtreats.com/rice-krispie-treats-recipe/
My sons 3rd birthday is coming u money is kinda tight I wanted to do fun DIY snacks that everyone can enjoy I have a question how do you store these?? Because I wanna make em the day before his event can they be refrigerated?
These chocolate-dipped Rice Krispie Treats will stay fresh for up to a week if stored in an airtight container (like Tupperware or Rubbermaid) at room temperature. Do NOT refrigerate Rice Krispie Treats. They'll absorb too much moisture and will taste stale very quickly.
I personally use either Peter's Burgundy Chocolate or Callebaut Callets 811 which both require tempering. You can also use Candy Melts, Ghirardelli Melting Wafers, or any other compound chocolate/confectionery coating which is made using palm kernel oil instead of cocoa butter and can simply be melted.
@@blessingnosike2856 If you use chocolate chips that contain cocoa butter they must be tempered otherwise the chocolate will not harden properly and will most likely bloom (become spotty.)
Yes, I have two recipes on the HowToMakeCerealTreats site that use syrup instead of marshmallows. This one uses corn syrup - howtomakecerealtreats.com/caramel-rice-krispie-treats/ and this one uses honey - howtomakecerealtreats.com/honey-peanut-butter-rice-krispie-treats/
I know this video was made a while ago but could you tell me roughly the measurements of yours. I just want a nice size for shower favors but not square.
I spread the Rice Krispie treat mixture into a 9x13-inch pan and then cut the pan of treats into 18 rectangles. The treats are about 2 inches by 3 inches. The bite-size treats are about 1 1/2 inches square.
I personally like to use Peter's Burgundy Chocolate (ad) (amzn.to/3o8KGTK) or Callebaut Belgian Dark Semisweet 811 Callets (amzn.to/3HbWRXq). Both of those are pure dark chocolates and will need to be melted and tempered. You can also use Ghirardelli Melting Wafers, Wilton Candy Melts, or any other compound chocolate (confectionery coating or almond bark) to make these chocolate-dipped rice crispy treats. These only need to be melted.
@@HungryHappenings Awwwwwwwww ... Thanks sweetie.... those treats definitely looks amazing, I wanna do something like that on my daughter’s birthday..... 😘😘😘😘👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How long does the fully dipped ones last? How far in advance can it be made for a party and proper storage ?

I have made chocolate-dipped Rice Krispie Treats up to a week before a party and they have been fine. Enjoy!

Your the best!
Awe, you are so sweet!
It works!
What did you use to stand the treats upward as the dried ?
I actually allowed them to fully dry on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet but then to display them I used a cake pop display that was custom made for me by Janine from SugarKissed.com. Unfortunately, she is no longer making and selling them.
What chocolate do you recommend to temper
You can read my Chocolate-Making Tips post to see easy methods for tempering chocolate - hungryhappenings.com/chocolate-making-tips/
I like to use Callebaut semi-sweet callets. You can find what I use on Amazon (ad) - amzn.to/3IKnGmv
@@HungryHappenings I don’t have access to that chocolate but would ghiradelli chocolate chips work

Do you recommend dipping the Rice Krispie treats in the chocolate right away or let them harden for a couple minutes - however long?
You need to allow the rice krispie treats to firm up and cool before cutting them and dipping them in the chocolate. I would let them rest for at least 30 minutes but longer would be better.
What size of pan did you use for the treats?
You will use a 9-inch by 13-inch pan to make these treats.
Did you use the recipe on the Rice Krispy box to make these, or a variation?
