Valentine's Day Rice Krispie Treats

🧂 Ingredients

• 60 g unsalted butter
• 300 g mini marshmallows

  plus a handful extra for topping
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 120 g Rice Krispies cereal
• 150 g dark or milk chocolate

  roughly chopped
• 150 g heavy cream
• flaky salt
• freeze-dried raspberries
• sprinkles

Instructions

• 1 Prep: Line a 9x9" pan with parchment paper on the bottom and all sides. Set
  aside.
• 2 Melt butter: In a large sauté pan or saucepan, melt the butter on low-medium
  heat.
• 3 Melt marshmallows: Once melted, add ¾ of the marshmallows and vanilla extract
  into the pan, keeping the heat at low-medium. Stir the marshmallows around until
  they melt into a puffy and gooey mixture.
• 4 Fold in cereal: Add all the Rice Krispies cereal and the remaining marshmallows.
  Fold them together until everything is coated. It's ready when the last
  marshmallows you added just begin to melt.
• 5 Pat into pan: Transfer the mixture to your lined pan. Gently pat it into the
  corners of the pan. Don't press down too hard otherwise, your rice krispie
  treats will be tough. Set aside to cool at room temperature.
• 6 Add hot cream to chocolate: Place your chopped chocolate into a small heat-safe
  bowl and set aside. Heat heavy cream on the stovetop or in the microwave until
  it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot heavy cream into the bowl of chocolate
  and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
• 7 Stir ganache: Stir the cream and chocolate mixture until all the chocolate has
  melted and it becomes a smooth and glossy ganache.
• 8 Spread ganache layer: Pour the ganache over the rice krispie treats and smooth
  it into an even layer.
• 9 Add toppings: While the ganache is still warm, sprinkle the top with toppings of
  your choice (eg. flaky salt, extra marshmallows, freeze-dried raspberries,
  sprinkles). Let the ganache set until firm to the touch before slicing into
  squares.
