Instructions
Rice Krispies Treat Cups -
Unwrap 3 Rice Krispies Treat Bars. Use a rolling pin or your fingers to flatten each bar out to a 3 ¼ inch by 2 inch rectangle.
Press and pinch the short ends of two of the treats together creating a 6 ½ inch by 2 inch rectangle, then curve the treats into a 2 inch tall cylinder and press the other ends together.
Set the Rice Krispies Treat cylinder on top of a third flattened treat.
Use a knife to cut the third treat out in a circle around the base of the cylinder.
Reserve the scraps to create your cup handles. Press the scraps together, roll into a log, then shape into a curved handle.
Repeat creating a total of 8 cups and 8 handles.
Place the white confectionery (candy) coating in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on high power for 20-30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted.
Use a pastry brush or food using only paint brush to brush a layer of confectionery coating all around the inside of each Rice Krispies Treat cup.
Allow the candy coating to dry for about 10 minutes.
Use a small amount of the candy coating to attach a handle to each cup.
M&M's Candy Saucers -
Spoon a heaping tablespoonful of white candy coating onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Spread it into a 3 ¼ inch circle (for a nice uniform looking circle, spoon it into a round metal cookie cutter.)
Immediately while the candy coating is wet, arrange two colors of M&M's in a single row around the edge of the circle. Create four circles using Plain M&M's and four using Peanut Butter M&M's, or combine them together.
Freeze the candy 8 minutes until candy coating hardens. If using the metal cutters, simply pop the candy out once it's hardened.
Set one cup on a candy saucer.
Cafe Mocha Ganache -
Heat the heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat just until bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan.
Stir in the hot brewed coffee.
Remove from the heat and pour over the finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until melted and smooth.
Allow ganache to cool for 15-20 minutes.
