Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 2g
- 10 oz. mini marshmallows about 6 cups or 285g
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 cups cocoa crispy rice cereal 265g
- ½ cup chocolate chips 110g
Topping
- ¼ cup chocolate chips 55g
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- chocolate sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Line a 9”x13” baking dish with wax paper. This will make removing the crispy rice treats easy. Set aside.
- Pour the cocoa crispy rice cereal into the large bowl, and set aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the salt when mostly melted.
- Stir in the marshmallows once the butter has melted. Continually stir until the marshmallows are completely melted.
- Add the splash of vanilla, and stir.
- Add the ½ cup of chocolate chips. Stir until melted.
- Pour the cereal into the marshmallow mixture. Stir quickly until the cereal is coated.
- Pour the cereal bar mixture to the prepared baking dish and gently spread the mixture into an even layer with a rubber spatula. (If the mixture begins sticking, spritz the spatula with the nonstick cooking spray.) Do not press down hard on the mixture, as your treats will be more compact.
- Optional: Melt the ¼ cup chocolate chips and butter together. Drizzle over the bars in a pattern. Sprinkle on the chocolate sprinkles.
- Let the treats cool completely, about 45 minutes-1 hour.
- Cut into squares with a sharp knife, and enjoy within 2-3 days.

Notes
- I cut my treats into 2” squares. If you cut yours larger, you will have less.
- How to store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. After this point, the treats will begin to harden.
