Chocolate Rice Krispies
Chocolate Rice Krispies are thick and delicious, with big chocolate flavor. They are just 5 ingredients and the perfect treat for Valentine’s Day or an anytime chocolate fix.
Yield: 9 large bars
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (10 oz.) bag mini marshmallows (big ones are OK, too)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 5 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Grease an 8x8 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium low heat. Add the marshmallows, cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Stir to combine and to coat in the butter. Cook over medium low until the marshmallows and chocolate chips are completely melted and no traces of white remain, stirring occasionally.
- Turn off the heat and carefully stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until it’s all completely coated. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, if using.
- Transfer the Rice Krispie mixture to the prepared pan and press down into an even layer. Let cool completely then cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes
You can use mini marshmallows or big ones. You’ll want a 10 ounce bag.
The mini chocolate chips to fold in at the end are optional but add a fun extra chocolate boost.
You can cut these into 9 huge bars, like I did here, or cut them into smaller bars to make either 12 or 16 total.
These will keep, covered at room temperature, for up to a week. If they last that long.
