Equipment

  • Piping Bags
  • 4 Microwave Safe bowls
  • Spatula
  • Sauce Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • 9 X 13 Inch Baking Pan
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Cups Rice Cereal
  • 10 Ounces Marshmallows
  • 5 Tablespoons of Butter + extra for spatula
  • 4 Ounces Yellow Melting Chocolate
  • 2 Ounces Pinking melting Chocolate
  • 1 Ounce White Melting Chocolate
  • 1/4 Cup Chocolate Chips

Instructions
 

  • Line the 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Be sure to leave a little bit of extra paper on the sides of the dish so that you can easily remove the treats from the pan.
  • Melt the butter in the sauce pan over medium heat until completely melted.
  • Add the marshmallows to the pan. Rub some butter on your spatula and slowly mix the marshmallows until completely melted.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the rice cereal to the pan. Use the spatula to mix the ingredients until the rice cereal is combined with the marshmallows.
  • Pour the rice cereal mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula to spread and flatten the rice cereal treat.
  • Let the rice cereal treat cool.
  • Once cooled, pull the rice cereal treat out of the pan by lifting the parchment paper on each side. Lay it on a flat surface, or cutting board.
  • Using a sharp knife cut the treat into four long strips about 2 inches thick. Cut off any extra that’s left over. Now cut the ends of each strip to make sure they are straight.
  • Cut the strips in half. They should be about 5 1/2 inches long and rectangle shape.
  • On one end of the rice cereal treat rectangle, use a knife of the diagonal to slice off both corners. This should help you make the pointy end of the pencil.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt the yellow chocolate in 30 second intervals until it is melted and smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate in to a piping bag and cut a small hole at the tip.
  • Pipe a line across the rice cereal treat where you want the yellow part of the pencil to begin and then pipe another line where you would like it to end. (Keep in mind you will need space for the eraser.) Now fill in the entire area with the yellow melting chocolate.
  • Place the pencils In the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
  • Using the same melting instructions above, melt and bag both the pink and white melting chocolate.
  • Pipe the pink melting chocolate in the empty rectangle area at the end of the pencil treat. Place them in the refrigerator for 2-3 minutes.
  • Next pipe the white melting chocolate across the area where the yellow chocolate ends and the pink chocolate beings. Pipe the line as thick as you would like.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl for 15- 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate until it's smooth and creamy.
  • Dip the pointy end of the pencil treat into the melted chocolate to create the look of a sharpened pencil.
  • Let the pencils rest until the chocolate has set.

Notes

  • These rice cereal treat pencils can be stored in air tight container in a cool dry place for 3-4 days.
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, you can use the extra butter to grease the baking pan. It will allow the rice cereal to be removed easily.
  • You can just eat the left over scraps or use them to try and make extra pencil rice cereal treats, or mini erasers.
