Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows (around 5 cups)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: sea salt flakes or crushed nuts for topping
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the melted semisweet chocolate chips.
- Gradually fold in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix until every piece of cereal is coated with the chocolate-marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a silicone spatula or greased hands to press the mixture evenly into the pan.
- If desired, sprinkle sea salt flakes or crushed nuts on top for added flavor and texture.
- Let the treats cool completely at room temperature for about 1-2 hours before cutting into squares.
- Once set, cut into squares or rectangles and serve.
