Chocolate Rice Krisipie Treats
If you like the original Rice Krispie Treats recipe, you will love this homemade chocolate Rice Krispie treats recipe! This dessert is up a notch from the classic Rice Krispie treats with the added decadence of milk chocolate chips, and it's not just for kids!
Equipment
- 1 glass bowl large
- 1 microwave
- 1 spatula
- 1 9x13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies
- 16 oz mini marshmallows
- 6 tbsp butter melted
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large glass bowl, add your butter and all but 1 cup of the marshmallows. Microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each 30 second interval.
- Once the butter and marshmallows are completely melted, add your cup of chocolate chips. Stir well.
- Add in the 6 cups of Rice Krispies and the reserved 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Stir until well combined and all of the cereal is evenly coated in the marshmallow mixture.
- Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by buttering the bottom and the sides.
- Dump the treat dough into the dish and gently press down with your spatula. If it's too sticky, get your hand damp and press dough with a lightly damp hand.
- Let the chocolate Rice Krispies set up for an hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- If you add parchment paper or waxed paper to the bottom of the pan it makes it easier to get the Rice Krispie treats out of the pan.
- If you do not have parchment paper, you can either butter the pan or use nonstick cooking spray. Just be sure to butter/spray the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Make sure that you let the treats cool completely before cutting them so that you get a clean cut. I like to wait an hour before slicing and serving.
- When pressing the dough into the baking pan to cool, you can use your hands to gently press it down and spread it out if the dough is too sticky for the spatula.
