Rice Krispie Treats on a Stick

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring constantly until melted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cereal until it is well-coated.

Let the mixture cool until it is warm but comfortable to handle with the fingers. Lightly butter your hands, then shape the treats into equal balls. Push a popsicle stick into each one. Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a metal bowl set over a pan of hot, but not boiling water. Holding the stick end, dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Set the coated treats on a waxed paper lined tray to cool. When the chocolate has hardened, wrap the treats in plastic wrap and tie with ribbon.
