Ingredients
  

  • RICE KRISPIES TREAT
  • 1 - 12 oz bag marshmallows
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 6 cups Kellogs Rice Krispies Treats
  • CHOCOLATE COATING:
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate melted
  • CANDIED ORANGES:
  • 1 orange - sliced into 1/8 inch slices
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • GARNISH:
  • 1/4 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions
 

  • RICE KRISPIES TREATS:
  • Line 8x8 pan with parchment, butter the sides and set aside.
  • Melt butter, in large bowl microwave for 45 seconds (give or take) until butter is melted.
  • Add in the marshmallows and toss to coat them with butter.
  • Microwave the mixture for 1 minute 40 seconds or until mixture is melted and well combined.
  • Stir to make sure butter is completely mixed in.
  • Pour in the krispies, stir until combined.
  • Pour into prepared pan, gently press the mixture into place. Do NOT pack down the mixture too hard (see more on this in post).
  • Set aside to cool completely.
  • CANDIED ORANGES:
  • In a large fry pan add the sugar and water.
  • Gently stir until mixture comes to gentle boil.
  • Add in the orange slices in a single layer.
  • After 15 minutes flip orange slices and reduce heat to simmer.
  • Continue to cook for 20 minutes or until peels are translucent, syrup should also be thickened.
  • Place slices on wire rack to cool, once cooled they should be sticky to the touch.*
  • Once cooled cut orange slices in half.
  • ASSEMBLY:
  • Pour melted chocolate over the Rice Krispies Treats and spread evenly with offset spatula.
  • Arrange candied orange slice halves on top, I used 9 halves.
  • Let set completely.
  • Cut into desired size squares.
  • Store in airtight container.
  • GARNISH (optional):
  • Drizzle the tops of the oranges with melted chocolate.

Notes

* Some of my orange slices were stubborn. I thought they were "candied" but once cooled I realized they were not sticky to the touch as they should be. They were damp rather so I re heated the syrup (so don't discard it) and added the few slices and cooked until I could tell they were done (translucent and sticky to the touch).
I cut these is large slices (9 squares) for the photos to show off the orange slice. If you want these to go further simply slice these into 18 squares or rectangles. They are rich and sweet.
