Equipment
10x7 baking dish
Large mixing bowl
Spatula
Ingredients
8
cups
mini marshmallows
4
Tablespoons
unsalted butter
¼
cup
chocolate chips
¼
cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
6
cups
Rice Krispies cereal
Chocolate jimmies sprinkles
Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Spray a 10x7 pan and a mixing spoon with nonstick spray and set aside.
Combine the marshmallows and butter in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl.
Microwave for 2 minutes, then stir vigorously to break down the marshmallows and mix in the butter.
Immediately add the chocolate chips and stir well again, until they have melted and are fully incorporated.
Add the cocoa powder and stir until combined.
Add the cereal and stir well, folding the ingredients over each other until the Rice Krispies are fully coated with the chocolate marshmallow mixture.
Pour mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Press the mixture down gently but firmly until it’s packed and condensed.
Top with the sprinkles and gently press them into the treats. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit for 3-4 hours before cutting.
Notes
Make sure your marshmallows are fresh for best results.
Don’t increase the amount of chocolate chips or the treats will be hard to bite.
Work quickly as you go through the steps - the marshmallow mixture is easier to stir when it's warm.
I used dark chocolate because it has a richer flavor but you can use milk or white chips if preferred.
Spray your knife with nonstick spray for easier cutting.
Will stay soft for 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container or ziptop bag on the counter.
You’ll get 8 larger treats or 16 smaller treats with the 10x7 pan.
If you prefer to use a 9x13 pan, the Rice Krispie treats will be thinner. For thicker treats in a 9x13 pan, double the recipe.
