Rice Krispie Biscotti

makes about 20 - 22

3 tablespoons butter
40 large marshmallows - 1 (10 ounce) bag
6 cups Rice Krispies
1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
5 - 6 tablespoon half and half
sprinkles

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir to melt. Take pot off heat and stir in Rice Krispies. Let cool until it can be handled without burning your hands.

Scoop out about 1/3 cup of the Rice Krispie mixture and form into a biscotti shape - a thin log shape. Place on a piece of parchment paper to cool. Continue with the remaining Rice Krispie mixture until all biscotti are formed. Let cool completely.

Melt chocolate chips with the half and half in a heat proof bowl over simmering water and stirring occasionally. Dip half of each biscotti in melted chocolate and sprinkle with sprinkles. Place on parchment paper to harden. Store in airtight container.
