Decadent Chocolate Covered Rice Krispie Treats - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, plus extra for greasing the pan
5 ounces toasted coconut marshmallows (half of a 10 oz. package)
5 ounces regular marshmallows (half of a 10 oz. package)
6 cups Rice Krispies
1 (12 ounce) package dark chocolate chips (I use Hershey's Special Dark)
1 tablespoon butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon corn syrup
50 pieces M&M's

Preparation

For The Rice Krispie Treats: Grease a 13x9x2 pan and set aside. In a large saucepan, melt the butter or margerine over low heat, then add the marshmallows and stir until melted.
Remove from heat, and using a buttered spatula stir in the cereal until all of it is coated with the marshmallows.
Press cereal into the greased pan with the spatula. Let cool.
To Make The Ganache: Using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate, butter, and salt together, stirring often. Add the milk slowly, using more as necessary to reach a creamy consistency.
Add the corn syrup slowly while stirring, until you see the chocolate turn glossy.
Pour chocolate over Rice Krispie Treats and allow to cool for 5 minutes before dotting with candies (I made 5 rows of 10 pieces of candy, which made it easy to cut 50 squares of treats).
Cool at room temperature, cut into squares, and enjoy!
*NOTE: You can substitute 4 cups of mini marshmallows for all the marshmallows in the recipe if you prefer.
