I don't think they'd make it that far without melting!

Renda,

I love to cook but I am not much of a baker. Is there any other option to putting chocolate on rice krispie treats other than melting chocolate?

I guess you could add the chips in mixture, but they wouldn't be coated that way.

Melting chocolate isn't a big deal -- you can melt it in the microwave, you just have to be very careful not to do it for too long it will burn. Just put it in for a little bit and stir it until it gets totally melted. Then you could just drizzle it on top and not dip the whole thing.

I guess I will have to take the plunge and try to melt chocolate. I have always been terrified to try. I'll give it a try and do the drizzle thing. Thanks

Okay, I know I am going to sound dumb but what is the easiest way to drizzle the chocolate on the rice krispies. I'll try to melt the chocolate in microwave.

Just with a spoon - - put a little on the spoon and turn it sideways and let it drizzle.

What chocolate are you going to use?

I don't know. Any suggestions? We like milk chocolate the best.

I like to use Hershey's (large bar) - just break it up in a glass bowl - nuke for about a minute - take out and stir to see how soft it is and then continue if it needs to be thinner just a few seconds (20) at a time until when you put some on the spoon and hold it up it and it drizzles down - it's ready.

It's very easy.

Thanks! I can't wait to try it.
