Description
A rich, chocolatey twist on the classic no-bake treat. Melted chocolate mixed right into the marshmallow base makes these bars extra fudgy and perfect for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups crisp rice cereal
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, for topping (optional)
Instructions
Melt the Butter: In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows and salt to the pot, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth.
Melt in the Chocolate: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and cocoa powder until fully melted and combined.
Stir in Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the Cereal: Add the rice cereal to the pot and stir gently until it’s fully coated in the chocolate marshmallow mixture.
Press into the Pan: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Using a greased spatula or wax paper, press it evenly and gently into the pan. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top and press lightly to adhere.
Cool and Cut: Let the bars cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
