Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 cups crispy cereal (Cornflakes or Rice Krispies)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup mini M&Ms or sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Prepare all ingredients in advance as the mixture sets quickly.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in vanilla extract and sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Remove from heat and gently fold in the crispy cereal and mini marshmallows until fully coated.
- Using a spoon, drop small portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form round buttons.
- Decorate each button with mini M&Ms or sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
- Allow to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until firm.
- Once set, store the Super Chocolatey Buttons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Notes
- Work quickly when shaping the buttons as the mixture thickens fast.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- For a vegan version, substitute with dairy-free butter and vegan dark chocolate.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain gloss and crunch.
- Freeze for up to two months for long-term storage.
