Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats

This is just a variation on the same recipe and marks the last recipe/picture I will be posting for some time. Enjoy!! :)


Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats


Yield: 9-12 squares




Ingredients




6 C Rice bubble cereal

2 TB unsalted butter or regular margarine

40 regular marshmallows (10 oz, or 4 cups mini mallows)
6 oz milk chocolate for mixing
more chocolate for top




Instructions

1. Stove directions: Over low heat, melt butter and 6 oz chocolate in large pot stirring often. Add marshmallows and melt down, stirring until completely melted. Take off heat.
2. Microwave directions: In microwave-safe bowl melt butter and 6 oz chocolate stirring often. Stir in marshmallows microwaving for another minute at a time until marshmallows are melted, stirring after each minute.
3. Add rice bubbles, fold in until fully incorporated.
4. Grease 13x9 or 9x9 pan (with Pam or butter). Using greased spatula, press mixture into pan.
5. Melt more chocolate and pour over top as a finishing touch.
6. Cool (preferably at room temperature).
7. Cut into squares or bars.

Tips:
If you beat the melted marshmallows down, your treats will be dense. If you only stir the fluff lightly your treats will be looser.
Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic, individually, and leave at room temperature for 2-3 days.
Use a glass or casserole pan as you will be cutting the squares while still in pan. Or, use a regular pan but line with foil: lift the whole panful out by the foil before cutting.
Can freeze but I always eat them too fast to have to bother.
