Pressing into Baking Pan - Press the rice Krispies treat mixture into the prepared baking dish with wax paper. This helps to keep from it sticking to your hands.

Variations Ideas

White Chocolate - You can also try making White Chocolate Covered Rice Krispie Treats! White chocolate is delicious and such a tasty idea.
Dark Chocolate - Another yummy idea is to use dark chocolate. If you love dark chocolate, try dipping some of the squares in that.
Use Chocolate Chips - You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips or butterscotch chips instead of the melting chocolates. I would add in a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the chocolate mixture.
Creamy Peanut Butter - Peanut Butter lovers will go crazy over Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Rice Krispie treats. Add a little peanut butter to the rice krispies mixture for a yummy twist on the classic recipe. We do recommend using regular peanut butter instead of natural peanut butter when making chocolate peanut butter rice krispie treats
Make into Balls - Chocolate covered rice krispie balls are also really good. They look like cake pops or cake balls. If you want to try a new shape, just try making balls instead.
Melting Chocolate - Try different colors of melting chocolates. The chocolate candy coating can be any color. From red or pink for Valentine's day to any color for any holiday or Birthday celebration.
