Equipment

  • 9 x 13 pan
  • Silicone Spatula or Hard Spoon
  • Large saucepan
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 oz Mini marshmallows
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp Molasses
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp Ground clove

Instructions
 

  • Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper. This keeps the treats from sticking and makes it easier to lift them out later.
  • In a large saucepan, melt four tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir until it is fully melted.
  • Pour in 10 oz of mini marshmallows, stirring continuously until melted and smooth. This usually takes a few minutes on low heat.
  • Stir in molasses along with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
  • Remove marshmallow mixture from the heat and add to 6 cups of rice cereal. Gently fold the mixture until the rice cereal is completely coated.
  • Pour the mixture into your prepared pan. And use a spatula or a sheet of parchment paper to press it down evenly across the pan.
  • Allow your treats to cool for at least 5 minutes. They will still be slightly warm.
  • Melt your white chocolate wafers in the microwave following the package instructions. Spoon the melted chocolate into a small piping bag or a zip top bag, snip the corner, and drizzle it over the pan in any pattern you like.
  • While the chocolate is still soft add sprinkles on top
  • Let the gingerbread rice Krispie treats cool at room temperature for about twenty minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened and the bars feel firm.
  • Once everything is set, cut the treats into twelve squares. Serve right away or store in an airtight container for later.
