Chocolate Rice Krispie treats are a fun twist on a classic dessert. Great after school snack or treat thats really easy to make.
Chocolate Rice Krispie treats just take Rice Krispie treats to the next level. When I was a kid I used to love when my mom made Rice Krispie Treats. My mind was blown as an adult when I realized you could make them with Cocoa Krispies.
What’s better than chocolate and marshmallows?! This recipe is so versatile you could also make it with fruity pebbles or cheerios. And it’s only three ingredients!
This recipe is great to get your kids involved in. I remember when my mom would make Rice Krispie treats we would always help flatten down the Rice Krispies.
