Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, plus extra for greasing the pan
• 5 ounces toasted coconut marshmallows (half of a 10 oz. package)
• 5 ounces regular marshmallows (half of a 10 oz. package)
• 6 cups rice krispies
• 1 (12 ounce) package dark chocolate chips (i use hershey's special dark)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup
• 50 pieces m&m's

Recipe

• 1 for the rice krispie treats: grease a 13x9x2 pan and set aside. in a large saucepan, melt the butter or margerine over low heat, then add the marshmallows and stir until melted.
• 2 remove from heat, and using a buttered spatula stir in the cereal until all of it is coated with the marshmallows.
• 3 press cereal into the greased pan with the spatula. let cool.
• 4 to make the ganache: using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate, butter, and salt together, stirring often. add the milk slowly, using more as necessary to reach a creamy consistency.
• 5 add the corn syrup slowly while stirring, until you see the chocolate turn glossy.
• 6 pour chocolate over rice krispie treats and allow to cool for 5 minutes before dotting with candies (i made 5 rows of 10 pieces of candy, which made it easy to cut 50 squares of treats).
• 7 cool at room temperature, cut into squares, and enjoy!
• 8 *note: you can substitute 4 cups of mini marshmallows for all the marshmallows in the recipe if you prefer.
