Triple Chocolate Crispy Bars

I love chocolate. LOVE.

I also enjoy rice crispy bars.

So when I saw the new chocolate royale marshmallows by Kraft, it was a done deal. It must have been written all over my face because Jon said "you just got an idea didn't you." Oh yes friends, I got an idea all right.

Triple chocolate rice crispy bars. They turned out so good. Jon insisted that I share the recipe.

Here's to you and your culinary adventures, friends. Cheers!

Triple Chocolate Rice Crispy Bars

3 TBS margarine or butter
1 bag chocolate royale marshmallows
8 cups chocolate rice crispy cereal (we used Cocoa Pebbles)
6 oz (about half a package) white or milk chocolate chips

Melt butter in a large bowl in the microwave. Add marshmallows. Stir to coat.

Melt the marshmallows using the DEFROST option. (seriously, it makes a huge difference) Once the marshmallows are all puffed up and soft, give them a quick stir. Add cereal and stir to mix well.

Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Transfer the cereal mixture to the pan. Spray your fingers with cooking spray. Press the cereal into an even layer. Allow to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, pour chips into a glass bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stir well each time to melt evenly. Pour melted chocolate over the cereal bars. Using a spatula, spread  the chocolate evenly.

Refrigerate until firm. Remove from fridge and cut into bars. To store keep covered at room temperature.
