Ingredients:
For this sweet treat, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients that will create an irresistible combination of textures and flavors:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
- Start by greasing a 9Ă—13-inch baking dish or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal of the treats later. This will help prevent the sticky treats from sticking to the pan.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the milk chocolate chips and stir continuously until they’re fully melted and smooth.
- After the chocolate is melted, sift the cocoa powder into the pan, stirring to incorporate it into the chocolate mixture. If you’re adding vanilla extract, stir it in now. This step will give your treats an extra chocolatey flavor!
- Add Marshmallows:
- Once the chocolate and cocoa mixture is smooth, add the mini marshmallows. Stir gently until the marshmallows begin to melt and the mixture becomes gooey and creamy. Be careful not to overheat the mixture or let it boil, as this could cause the marshmallows to harden and lose their fluffiness.
- Mix with Rice Krispies:
- Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the melted chocolate and marshmallow mixture. Gently stir the cereal into the chocolate mixture until all the pieces are evenly coated.
- Transfer to the Pan:
- Once the Rice Krispies are well-coated, pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (coated with a little butter to prevent sticking) to press the mixture down evenly and firmly into the pan.
- Let Cool and Set:
- Allow the treats to cool and set for at least 30 minutes. You can place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process, but make sure they are fully set before cutting into squares.
- Cut into Squares:
- Once the treats have cooled and firmed up, cut them into squares or rectangles and serve! Enjoy the gooey, chocolaty goodness of these Double Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats.
