Chocolate Hazelnut Smores Stuffed Crispy Rice Treats Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Prepare a square glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• Melt marshmallows over medium heat in a nonstick pan. Stir every 30 seconds to avoid burning. (TIP! spray your spatula with nonstick cooking spray to make stirring easier.)
• Once the marshmallows are melted, add in the rice cereal and chocolates. Stir until fully combined.
• Stir until fully combined.
• Scoop the mixture into the sprayed baking dish and flatten with a spatula.
• Cool for 30 minutes, then cut into squares.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Drop in the hazelnuts, bring back to a boil, and blanch 10 seconds. Drain hazelnuts in a colander, then spread out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place in oven and roast 8 to 10 minutes until light brown. Remove from oven, place a kitchen towel over the pan, and allow to cool completely.
• Rub cooled hazelnuts between your palms; the skins should slip right off. Set aside 50 whole hazelnuts. Grind the rest very fine in a food processor fitted with the metal blade and set aside.
• Place sugar and heavy cream in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Add the chopped chocolate, let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Whisk in the butter. Pour the ganache into the bowl of an electric mixer and allow to cool until set. Fit the machine with a paddle and beat the set ganache on medium speed until aerated and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the reserved ground hazelnuts and the liqueur if using. Beat well to thoroughly combine.
• Load mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Pipe out 1/2-inch balls. On top of each ball, press in one of the reserved whole toasted hazelnuts until it is halfway buried. Place pan in refrigerator to chill completely.
• To coat, place tempered chocolate in a medium bowl. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper. Get yourself 2 forks. Place one nut-topped ball on the prongs of one fork, nut up. Lower the fork into the melted chocolate, covering completely. Lift fork up, pause 3 seconds to allow excess chocolate to drip off, then run bottom of fork along top of bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place fork on paperlined pan and use second fork to push off the candy while you withdraw the first fork (it's easier than it sounds). Keep the nut up at all times. Repeat with remaining centers. If it's warm out, place the finished candies in the refrigerator to set; otherwise they will set at cool room temperature (65 degrees).
• Both of these candies make great Christmas presents packed into little boxes or baskets. They are involved but can be done easily in large batches. One day of work can yield many gifts. You can make a double of triple batch of truffle ganache and divide it, beating different flavorings into different parts.

Steps:

• Set aside 1 cup marshmallows, 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers to top the treats with.
• Lightly spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick spray. Cut out an 8-inch-wide strip of parchment paper and use it to line the pan, leaving enough overhang on the sides so you can use the flaps to lift out the treats. Lightly spray the parchment with nonstick spray.
• In a large nonstick pot over medium heat, add the butter. Swirl around until melted, then dump in the marshmallows. Stir gently with a spatula until the marshmallows have completely melted, about 90 seconds. Remove the pot from the heat, then add the rice cereal and stir until combined. Let cool slightly, then add the crushed graham crackers and fold in gently. Add the chocolate chips and mix just barely until folded in (if you mix too much, the chocolate will melt completely).
• Dump the mixture into the lined pan and press down gently so the mixture is evenly distributed in the pan. While still warm, sprinkle with the reserved marshmallows, reserved chocolate chips and reserved crushed graham crackers. Using a creme brulee torch, toast the marshmallows and melt the chocolate evenly, using a sweeping motion so the marshmallows don't catch fire, about 45 seconds.
• Allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Slice into squares using a warm, sharp knife and serve.

Steps:

• Line a 13-by-9-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven on medium-low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and cook, stirring constantly, until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the puffed rice cereal and gently stir to combine. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet. With clean and lightly oiled hands, press the mixture into the baking sheet. Let cool completely.
• Remove the crispy rice bar from the baking sheet in 1 piece and cut in half. Spread the marshmallow creme on 1 of the halves. Spread the chocolate-hazelnut spread on the other. Place both halves on top of each other to create a sandwich. Refrigerate to firm up, about 10 minutes.
• Slice into bars with a serrated knife.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Add the crispy rice cereal to a zip-top bag, seal, and crush into crumbs with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a large bowl.
• In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total.
• Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal crumbs and stir to combine.
• Grease 9½-inch (24-centimeter) pie dish with nonstick spray. Pour the crust mixture into the dish and press into an even layer against the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
• Chill in the refrigerator while you make the mousse.
• Make the chocolate hazelnut mousse: Microwave the chocolate hazelnut spread for 30 seconds. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and beat to incorporate.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold the warm chocolate hazelnut spread into the whipped cream until incorporated.
• Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour in the mousse. Spread in an even layer.
• Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Make the crispy rice topping: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the sugar to a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook without stirring for 1-2 minutes, until the sugar begins to caramelize. Swirl it around in the pan to help caramelize evenly.
• Once the sugar is light amber in color, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Use a rubber spatula to stir until the butter is melted, then turn off the heat. Add the crispy rice cereal and toasted hazelnuts and quickly stir to coat.
• Transfer the topping to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with the salt. Use two forks to separate the mixture into smaller chunks, being careful not to touch the hot sugar with your hands. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes. The topping can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container once cooled.
• When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer. Decorate the top with the crispy rice topping. Let the pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife. Warm the blade in hot water and wipe between each cut for clean slices.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until smooth and melted. Add the rice cereal and stir until well coated.
• Transfer the mixture to a buttered 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan and press into an even layer. Set aside to cool, about 1 hour.
• Once the rice cereal treats have cooled, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the treats.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth.
• Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Dip half of each heart in the melted chocolate, then set on the baking sheet. Immediately, while the chocolate is still is warm, sprinkle the chocolate side with red sanding sugar and Valentine's sprinkles. Let cool until the chocolate hardens completely, 1-2 hours.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the salted caramel sauce: In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, stir together the sugar, water, and salt until no clumps remain, brushing any sugar granules from the sides of the pot. Turn the heat to medium and cook the sugar mixture without stirring until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C) and the color turns light amber brown, 10-15 minutes.
• Gently whisk in 1 piece of butter at a time until melted and incorporated.
• Remove the pot from the heat. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent the caramel from overflowing. Use caution as the mixture bubbles. Let the sauce cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Make the crispy rice treats: Grease a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes.
• With a rubber spatula, stir in the marshmallows until completely melted. Stir in the vanilla. Turn off the heat, add the puffed rice cereal, and stir until well coated.
• Spread half of the crispy rice mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.
• Spread the salted caramel sauce evenly over the first layer of crispy rice treats and sprinkle with the flaky sea salt. Return the pan to the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Spread the rest of the crispy rice mixture evenly over the caramel sauce. (If the crispy rice mixture solidifies too much to spread, place the pot in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for 5 minutes to soften). Let the treats cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Once cooled, invert the treats onto a cutting board and cut into 2-inch squares.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Place the peanut butter cups in an even layer on the bottom of a large oven-safe skillet. Add the marshmallows in a single layer on top.
• Bake for 20 minutes, until the marshmallows are golden brown.
• Serve with graham crackers for dipping.
• Enjoy!
