Notes
Don't add extra chocolate chips because it will make the treats way too hard and difficult to bite.
Move quickly to be sure the marshmallows will stay warm and malleable.
I used dark chocolate chips, but you can use whatever chocolate chip you prefer. The dark chocolate adds a richer flavor to the recipe.
The treats do best when left overnight. However, if you need them sooner, definitely give them at least 2-4 hours to set.
To use a 9x13 pan, double the amounts or the treats will turn out thinner.
Gently pressing down on the sprinkles once you add them helps them to stick to the treats as they set so they won't all fall off when you serve them.
