CHOCOLATE RICE KRISPY TREATS

I’ve realised that inviting people over and telling me 20 minutes before they arrive is a genetic trait of my husband and it’s now presenting itself in my son *slaps forehead* *mutters curses*

Yesterday I had to come up with a very quick dinner and a treat for his little friends. Baking a cake or cookies would take too long, jello takes forever to set and pie takes even longer than forever. As I stood there staring into my pantry I noticed a box of rice krispies in the corner! EUREKA! Rice krispy treats! Quick, easy and done in less than 10 minutes, perfect!

I fancied it up a little with some left over Reese’s Pieces from Easter * Ok ok I keep a secret stash in my underwear draw because that’s the only place none of my kids or the hubs would look in 😀 You can try adding sprinkles, m&m’s, or whatever you have on hand….well….maybe not sardines.

Here’s my quick recipe!

• 4 tbsp butter
• 16 oz mini marshmellows
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 6 cups rice krispies ( rice cereal)
• chocolate chips
• reese’s pieces or m&m’s or chocolate chips for toppings

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt butter over medium heat.
2. Add marshmellows and stir frequently until melted.
3. Add vanilla and stir.
4. Pour in rice krispies and a handful of chocolate chips and stir well.
5. Remove from heat and pour into a pan and let cool a little.
6. Spray hands with cooking spray or a little oil (this keeps it from sticking to your skin) and press until flat and smooth.
7. Add more toppings on top and press in! Easy peasy!
