Deliciously gooey Chocolate Chip Rice Krispies treats made with melted marshmallows, buttery Rice Krispies cereal, and loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips for a perfect sweet snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows

Dry Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once melted, add the marshmallows and continue to stir until completely melted into a smooth mixture. Remove the pan from heat immediately to prevent scorching.
  2. Mix in Cereal: Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring continuously to ensure every piece is well coated with the marshmallow blend. This slows down before they cool and harden.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Once the cereal mixture has cooled slightly but is still pliable, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. This prevents the chocolate chips from melting completely while ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Shape and Cool: Using a buttered spatula or wet hands to avoid sticking, press the mixture firmly and evenly into a 13×9 inch pan lightly coated with cooking spray. Let the pan cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the treats set and become firm enough to cut.
  5. Cut and Serve: Once cooled and set, cut the mixture into squares using a sharp, buttered knife to prevent sticking. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use low heat while melting marshmallows to prevent burning or scorching.
  • If you want chewier treats, use fresh marshmallows and do not overcook the mixture.
  • To make the bars easier to cut, let them cool completely before slicing.
  • For added texture, you can add nuts or other mini candies alongside the chocolate chips.
  • These treats are best enjoyed within 2-3 days to maintain freshness.
