- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate

Optional toppings:
- sprinkles, chopped nuts, flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
- Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and immediately fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and gently press it into an even layer without compacting it too firmly.
- Allow the Rice Krispy treats to cool completely, then cut into bars or squares.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in oil if needed for a thinner consistency.
- Dip one end of each Rice Krispy treat into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place dipped treats on parchment paper and add toppings if desired.
- Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature before serving or storing.
