Fall Chocolate Walnut Krispie Treats

 

I am always at awe when I look at the current date we are in because the seasons are almost flying by.  Even though we live in a tropical state you can certainly feel that fall is near. So, today I decided to make rice krispies treats inspire by the fall season.  Here I prepare a simple recipe and steps on how you can make your own.

Ingredients for chocolate

  • 4oz white chocolate
  • 1 tbsp semi sweet chocolate morsels (optional)
  • food coloring of your choice ( i used yellow and orange)

  • bag of big marshmallows
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3/4 cup up to 1 1/4 cup of small marshmallows

First, we get 4 oz of white chocolate and break each bar in half and place in a glass dish or bowl.  Place on a double boiler and mix well until is fully melted. Divide the amount and place the other half on a glass cup or bowl.  Add a few drops of yellow in one bowl and add a few drops of orange on the remaining bowl.  Mix each until you have reach the desire color.

 

 

(optional: to make a smoother consistency you can add 1 tsp of vegetable shortening and mix until you have reached the desired consistency)

  • Add 6 cups of rice krispies cereal. Mix well.
  • Add small marshmallows and 1/3 of the walnuts to the mixture.
  • Once mix pour mixture to the greased 9×13 baking dish.
  • Using a spatula or your hands even out the mixture. ( i like to add some vegetable shortening in my hands and pat down the mixture, this helps not to stick)
  • (optional) add dried cranberries (i added to have of the batch, since my husband doesnt like them)
  • drizzle the white chocolate to the mixture ( i selected yellow first, then I drizzle orange on top)
  • sprinkle 1/3 of the walnuts to the mixture.
