2. Place cereal in large bowl. Carefully pour melted chocolate mixture over cereal. Gently stir until cereal is completely coated with chocolate.
3. Spoon cereal mixture into twenty-four 1 1/2-inch muffin-pan cups coated with cooking spray. Using your finger or thumb, press cereal mixture onto bottoms and up the sides of each cup, forming crusts.
4. Place crusts in freezer for 30 minutes. Remove from freezer. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
5. Before serving, fill each crust with fresh fruit. Dollop with whipped topping. Decorate with sprinkles. Serve immediately.
NOTE: Extra unfilled crusts may be frozen in air-tight container for up to a month. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
Kid-friendly Kitchen Tips:
Children of all ages should have an adult assistant with them at all times when cooking.
1. Chefs, 7 and older, can measure the ingredients and help stir the melted chocolate into the Rice Krispies® cereal.
2. Little ones, ages 3 to 6, will enjoy pressing the mixture into the muffin cups and decorating with the fruits and whipped cream.
3. Make sure to have plenty of extra fruits for snacking while making these little pies.
I recently bought a box of Rice Krispies and gave them to my daughter, Lacey, for breakfast one morning. She had never had Rice Krispies (outside of having a Rice Krispies Treat, of course) so as I poured her a bowl I said, "You know, this cereal talks." Her eyes got really big and she put her head down by the bowl. She looked up at me and said, "Are you fibbing?" It was fun watching that moment as her mom. It's just one of those foods that brings back memories.
