Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats

Today, I stopped at Target on my way back from school, and they had CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOWS!!! They were with the seasonal/halloween stuff and were only 99cents so I bought a bag, then immediately went to the grocery store and bought some rice krisipies cereal (not that brand though). The recipe is the same as always:

Melt 1/4cup butter over low heat, stir in marshmallows, when completely melted add 6 cups of cereal.

* I always go a little easy on the cereal, so the treats are extra marshmallow-y.
* I know you can make these in the microwave, but I always use the stove because I don't have a large enough microwaveable-safe bowl.

These are AMAZING! I thought when they melted, the marshmallows wouldn't be very chocolaty but they were VERY. And, they are different in flavor than Coco Pebbles treats. I also sprinkled some orange sprinkles over the final product for a more festive look. (You can't really taste the sprinkles though)

these look delicious! I wonder if you could get the same effect by melting chocolate chips into the marshmallows before adding the cereal? I might steal your idea and make them for my house for Halloween!

the chocolate chips were a bad choice. It made the treats get really solid.

Gross.
