Notes

Storage: I keep them covered at room temperature and they keep for up to 3 days. Do not store in the fridge because they will become dried out. Store in an airtight container so they don’t dry out and don’t store in the fridge or they will dry out.
Freezing: I don't really recommend freezing rice krispie treats as they don't thaw and have the same texture. But if you do want to try freezing be sure to wrap between layers of parchment or wax paper and place in a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
White chocolate: If you plan to dip each square you will need about 8 ounces of white chocolate. If just drizzling on, you will only need about 4 ounces depending on how much. You can also just sprinkle on a few white chocolate chips after they are spread into the pan, or stir right into the mixture!
