It’s no secret that I love chocolate. I’m trying to eat less of it these days (although you’d never guess that by all the chocolate posts I’ve been sharing) but we’re all allowed a special treat for Valentine’s Day, right? I’m not sure if Friday the 13th counts as a holiday too…but if it means I can start eating chocolate early, then it’s a holiday in my calendar! Do you ever sit at home daydreaming about food when all of a sudden you think of a delicious new recipe that you must try right now? Please say it isn’t just me. This afternoon I was thinking of Rice Krispies squares and candy and I thought a tasty treat would be to combine them both in a Rice Krispies Dessert Pizza.
Rice Krispies Dessert Pizza:
This is one of those recipes that leaves everything up to your imagination. Love chocolate? Then the “sauce” on your pizza could be melted chocolate chips. Not a big fan of chocolate? Top it with icing and set your candies on top. For my pizza, I used a melted chocolate chip base and topped it with candy coated chocolates, mini caramel chocolate bars and red gummy berries.
Be creative – maybe even cut the pizza into slices first and set out all the toppings so your family can each create a personalized slice.
- 3 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 20 regular sized marshmallows
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- melted chocolate
- variety of candies
- In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the butter.
- Add the marshmallows and stir to evenly coat the marshmallows in melted butter.
- Put back in microwave for 1 minute.
- Remove from microwave and stir immediately.
- Add vanilla and stir well to mix.
- Add cereal and stir well until it is all coated.
- Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick cooking spray. Spray generously so the cake doesn't stick to the dish.
- Put the Rice Krispies mixture in the dish and then wet your hands with cold water before pushing down on the mixture to form it into a pizza shape with a crust. The cold water keeps the mixture from sticking to your hands.
- Place in refrigerator for a couple of hours to chill before filling with your favorite candies.
