Rice Krispie Ice Cream Bars

Hi and Welcome to Red Couch Recipes! 

I have been crafting a bit with Rice Krispies today.  I saw these fun Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Bars on the Rice Krispie website and I wanted to make them.  They were fast and fun to make.  Who doesn't like Rice Krispies, right?

I just made a batch of Rice Krispies -- I have listed the recipe below for your convenience, but do you really need it?

1/4 cup butter

1 (10.5 ounce) bag of marshmallows

7 cups of Rice Krispies

Meausre out Rice Krispies and put in large mixing bowl.  Melt butter in large sauce pan, then add marshmallows until melted.  Pour marshallow mixture into Rice Krispies and mix well.  Spread into 20x 13-inch baking pan and cool slightly.

Note:  I used a little less Rice Krispies than normal because I wanted a moister Rice Krispie mixture that would be easier to mold with.   The recipe made about 7-8 ice cream bars. 

I cut out a cardboard ice cream bar form and then used a knife to "cut it out."  After I cut out the ice cream bar, I worked with it a little bit to make sure that it looked liked an ice cream bar.  I put the cut out ice cream bar on the buttered form to reshape it a little bit.  Then stick a craft stick into each ice cream bar.  The form has butter on it so it doesn't stick.

 

I spread melted milk choclate on the bar and then while the chocolate was moist I put sprinkles on it.   Don't cover the "ice cream" totally with chocolate, allow some ice cream at the bottom to peak through.  Wait until dry until eating!

My youngest daughter, Talley, thought that these didn't look like ice cream bars because there were sprinkles on them, but it didn't stop her from eating them.

Thanks for dropping by my Red Couch.
