Description
An easy and indulgent treat made with Rice Krispies, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter
- 1 10 oz bag mini marshmallows (about 6 cups)
- ¼ cup (22 g) dutch process or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 5½ cups (149 g) Rice Krispie Cereal
- ½ cup (85 g) semi sweet chocolate chips, plus more for optional topping
- ½ teaspoon flaky salt for topping, optional
Instructions
- In a large sauce pan or pot, melt the butter on low heat.
- Once all the butter has melted, add in the mini marshmallows and cocoa powder. Stir continuously over low heat until the marshmallows are mostly melted and the cocoa powder is mostly combined with the melted marshmallows and butter.
- Once the marshmallows are mostly melted, remove the pot from the heat. Quickly and carefully stir in the rice crispy cereal in two batches.
- When the cereal is mostly coated in the chocolate marshmallow mixture, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Evenly scoop the soft and gooey treats into a lined 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 pan. Gently press the chocolate rice crispy treats into place. Top with more chocolate chips and flaky salt if you like.
- Allow the rice crispy bars with chocolate to set for at least 30 minutes, slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a buttered spatula to press the mixture down for an even layer.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.
- Feel free to add nuts or other toppings for variation.
