Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or spray it with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate and butter: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the chocolate chips and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Melt the marshmallows: Add the marshmallows to the saucepan and continue stirring until the marshmallows are fully melted and combined with the chocolate and butter mixture.
- Mix with the Rice Krispies: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until it’s evenly coated with the chocolate-marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer to the pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to press the mixture evenly into the pan. Be careful not to press too hard to avoid crushing the Rice Krispies.
- Cool and set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until they are set. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles.
- Serve and enjoy: Enjoy your Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats! They can be served immediately or stored for later.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.To make firmer treats, press the mixture into the pan more firmly or refrigerate them after cooling.These treats can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
