Taking A Break...and Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats!

I feel like I've been away forever!  This last week was crazy busy, with a funeral, kids, and whatever else I was busy doing.  It's funny that I can't actually remember what I was so busy with, but I swear I was...oh well.  I'm back and I've got a no-brainer recipe here, but it's sooo yummy and if you haven't tried this version of rice krispy treats, than you have to!  It's delicious and I can eat the entire pan by myself.  I try not to, but I could.  Easily.  A friend of mine made them for a church function and I fell in love.  I don't think I could ever go back to regular rice krispies, okay I could, because they are so yummy as well, but these are a step up!  What could be better than marshmallows, rice krispies, butter, and chocolate, right?  Right!


Ooey Gooey Chocolatey Rice Krispy Treats

1 large bag (10.5 oz.) of marshmallows
1/4 cup butter
6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
1 bag (10 oz.) milk chocolate chips

Melt marshmallow's and butter in a microwavable safe bowl for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir until smooth.  Add rice krispies and chocolate chips and mix until blended together.  Place in 9 x 13 inch pan and pat down lightly with a buttered spatula.  Easy!

The best part of these goodies are the chunks of chocolate that don't melt all the way, and you bite into the treat and it is perfectly chewy and delicious!

WoW! Thank you so much! I was in the grocery store the other day and was going to pick up some pre-made rice krispies bars but the price! I thought to myself, "Maybe it's time I learned to make my own..." and have been meaning to grab a recipe and now I found yours and it sounds exactly what I was looking for. A huge thanks!

Good to see you are back! I think those will be the next rice krispie treats I make... anything with chocolate and I'm there!

Steph,
Life gets crazy sometimes doesn't it!? Your little chocolate treats look divine, just my kind of recipe! I feel like I hadn't posted forever either. Busy week.

Have a good week, hopefully you'll get a little relaxation time!!

Steph...a hidden ingredient that I always add to these is very fine chopped walunts. Yes I know that many people (kids..hubby's) dont like them but they don't have a clue they are in there and it gives the best extra little flavor. I also always double the butter....ummm can't get enough of the butter! love you....

I love making all kinds of "cereal" krispies. I saw on Martha Stewart years and years ago when she did different cereals - fruit loops, corn flakes, etc, and now I love making them with leftover cereal. But I've never added chocolate - I should do that!!

Simplicity at its best. I love rice krispy treats any way you make 'em!

Yeah! No stovetop!
