How to Make Indulgent Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats
Step 1: Prepare the Pan – Start by buttering a 9″x13″ glass baking dish. This ensures that your treats won’t stick once they’re done. Set the dish aside while you prepare the mixture.
Step 2: Melt the Butter and Marshmallows – In a saucepan over low heat, melt the 6 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is mostly melted, add the entire bag of mini marshmallows. Continuously stir until you’ve melted about seventy-five percent of the marshmallows. This creates a gooey, sticky base for your treats.
Step 3: Add Rice Krispies and Flavorings – Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl. Add a dash of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for that extra flavor boost. Stir until the cereal is mostly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 4: Incorporate Chocolate Chips – Once the cereal is coated, it’s time to take these treats to the next level with chocolate! Add 1 cup of chocolate chips to the mixture and continue to stir until the cereal is completely covered in chocolatey goodness.
Step 5: Spread and Press – Transfer the mixture into the prepared 9″x13″ pan. Using a spatula or your hands, gently spread the mixture evenly in the pan, making sure to press it down firmly. This helps the treats hold their shape once they’re cut.
Step 6: Cut into Squares and Enjoy- Now comes the fun part – cutting the treats into squares! To prevent sticking, use a plastic knife. The smooth surface of the plastic knife ensures clean cuts without any messy residue. After cutting, serve your Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats!
