Ingredients
- ½ cup butter salted or unsalted
- 20 oz mini marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 oz crisp rice cereal
- 20 jumbo ice cream cones
- 12 oz candy melts any color
- 1 cup M&M candies
- 2 tbsp nonpareil sprinkles
Instructions
Rice Krispie Treats
- Combine butter and mini marshmallows in a large saucepan. Place over medium-low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the marshmallows are melted.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- Pour rice krispies in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the rice krispies and mix together until well combined.
- Moisten your hands to prevent the rice krispie treats from sticking. Scoop a portion of the rice krispie treats. The rice krispie treat ball should be just slightly larger than mouth of the ice cream cone. Roll the rice krispie treat into a ball, pressing firmly. Once you have the appropriate size, weigh with a kitchen scale to make the other rice krispie treats the same size.
- Place the rolled rice krispie treat onto a baking sheet tray. Immediately sprinkle on nonpareil sprinkles. If you wait too long, the rice krispie treats will dry and the sprinkles will not stick.
- Portion and roll the rice krispie treats until all the mixture is used.
Assembling the Ice Cream Cones
- Pour candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between intervals, until melted and smooth.
- Dip the top of the ice cream cone into the candy melts. Hold the ice cream cone inverted over a clean baking sheet pan and sprinkle with nonpareil sprinkles.
- Quickly add some M&Ms to the bottom of the ice cream cone and gently place and press a rice krispie treat ball onto the top of the cone.
- Repeat until all the ice cream cones are made. Allow the candy melts to harden completely before storing.
Notes
