Ingredients

Rice Krispies

6 cups cocoa rice krispie cereal
6 tablespoons salted butter
10 ounces mini marshmallows about 6 cups
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Topping

1/4 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon salted butter or coconut oil
M&Ms, chocolate chips or sprinkles for decoration optional

Instructions

Line a 13×9 inch pan with foil or parchment paper and grease with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Bring a large pot or stock pot to medium heat. Add butter and melt.
Reduce the heat to low heat and add mini marshmallows. Stir until melted, then add vanilla extract and chocolate chips. Stir just until chocolate chips are melted.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chocolate cereal until the marshmallow mixture completely coats the cereal.
Add the mixture to the prepared pan and gently press the mixture into the pan. Don't press too hard otherwise your treats will be too dense and hard.
In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in 30 second intervals, until melty and smooth.
Drizzle melted chocolate all over the treats and top with M&Ms. Let cool for 20-30 minutes, then cut into squares and enjoy!
