Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 4 oz milk chocolate, chopped* or ⅔ cup chocolate chips
- 4-5 cups Rice Krispies*
Instructions
- Lightly grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- Add the butter and marshmallows to a large saucepan over low heat.
- Gently stir the mixture as the marshmallows and butter begin to melt.
- Stir in the cocoa powder until it's combined.
- When the marshmallows are about 80% melted, add in the chocolate and gently stir until melted and combined.
- Once everything is melted, turn off the burner and stir in the cereal. I typically start with 3 cups, and then mix in 1 cup at a time.
- Turn the cereal into the greased pan and gently press it down using a lightly greased hands (I spray them with non-stick cooking spray) or a lightly greased rubber spatula.
- Let the bars sit and room temperature for 60 minutes, or until firm. Then slice into bars and store at room temperature in an airtight container.
Notes
- Feel free to use semi-sweet chocolate instead.
- I typically use 4 cups for gooier bars.
- Store rice krispie treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Do not store in the fridge, or otherwise they can get hard.
