Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats – Delicious rice crispy marshmallow treats with a chocolate crunch bar topping. These put a fun twist on the traditional “Rice Krispie Treats”.

JUMP TO RECIPE

Mouthwatering rice crispy treats kicked up a notch with a delicious chocolate crunch bar topping! These treats are out of this world. My husband and I couldn’t help but sneaking bites throughout the entire day.

As a kid, rice crispy treats were one of my all time favorite desserts! I also loved chocolate crunch bars. So, the two together is literally heaven to me. You can even top them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for absolute perfection.

Not only are these treats delicious, they are so easy to make! From start to finish they only take about 25-30 minutes. This recipe makes about 16 small squares. So if you are baking for a crowd, simply double the recipe.

First, make the rice crispy treats:

Line a 13″ x 9″ baking dish with parchment paper.

In a large skillet over low heat, add butter and marshmallows. Cook, stirring frequently until marshmallows are almost all melted but still slightly lumpy. Then, immediately remove from heat.

Pour rice crispy’s into the marshmallow mixture and mix to combine. Then, using a lightly buttered rubber spatula, press rice crispy’s into the parchment paper lined baking dish. Let cool.

Make the chocolate crunch bar topping:

In a small microwave safe bowl, add chocolate chips and microwave for about 15 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir frequently. Place back in the microwave for 10 second increments until chocolate is melted but be very careful not to burn. Between each session stir chocolate frequently. Pour remaining rice crispy’s into the chocolate and stir to combine.

Evenly spread chocolate crunch topping directly on top of the rice crispy treats. Place in the fridge for about 10 minutes to harden quickly. Then remove from fridge, slice into squares and serve. *Storing instructions below.
