Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats

Author: Jennifer Locklin

Ingredients

• 20 cups Cocoa Rice Krispies Cereal just shy of 2-12-oz boxes
• 2 sticks salted butter
• 2 10 oz bags Jumbo marshmallows
• 2 10 oz bags Mini marshmallows
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla

Instructions

• Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, then butter or spray with cooking spray; set aside.
• Measure out 20 cups of cereal into TWO large bowls, dividing evenly; set aside.
• In a large stock pot, melt butter over medium heat.
• Once melted, stir in 2 bags of Jumbo marshmallows, melt, stirring often.
• When melted, stir in 2 bags of Mini marshmallows and remove from heat. (The marshmallows will not be fully melted)
• Stir in salt and vanilla.
• Pour melted marshmallow mixture evenly over BOTH bowls of cereal.
• Working quickly, use a rubber spatula to fold and mix the cereal and marshmallow mixture until all cereal is thoroughly coated.
• Pour all coated cereal onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Wet your hands with cold water, shaking off the excess, and press the cereal mixture firmly and evenly into pan.
• All this to cool and firm up. (I place mine in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or so for faster results)
• Lift out of the pan using the sides of the foil and cut into desired size squares.
