Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) butter
- 1 (10 ounce) bag miniature marshmallows
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 6 cups cocoa crispy rice cereal
Directions
-
Grease an 8 by 8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
-
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows, Nutella, and peanut butter and stir until the mixture is melted and creamy. Stir in the cocoa powder.
-
Place the cocoa crispy rice cereal in a large bowl. Pour the butter mixture over the cereal and stir until the cereal is well coated. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and refrigerate for 10 minutes, or until cooled and firm. Slice into squares.
Any reason why you didn’t use Dutch process chocolate? Just curious.
Nope! This is just an older recipe of ours so it’s not specified, but feel free to use Dutch process cocoa! If you’re interested, check out our article about how to know when to use Natural Cocoa vs. Dutch Process Cocoa Powder. Hope that helps!
My husband just took his third treat, hè couldn’t resist. He also couldn’t stop moaning and yelling that these are incredible and that I please have to make them again!
I definitly will!
Yours Katja
Yum. These I’ve got to try.
And my all time favorite book that I recommend to everyone: Outlander.
Starz is currently making this into a series – I think it will be on this fall.
These sound great Tessa!
For books I can definitely recommend some series – Game of Thrones, Wool trilogy by Hugh Howey, and my absolute favourite, Finnikin of the Rock trilogy by Melina Marchetta. Enjoy!
Nutella anything is amazing! Not sure if I could wait until the rice crispies were ready. 🙂
Nutella and peanut butter sounds like the best combination!
These look delicious! Do you think they would stay good in the mail, or would they become a melty mess? I know regular Rice Krispie Squares usually mail well, but the chocolate my cause a problem.
I think these would stay good in the mail as long as you didn’t ship during the summer!
I LOVE a good rice krispie treat and this one looks perfect. LOVE!!
I’ve actually never had Nutella before (craziness, i know. everyone i know loves it! my boss used to buy it in bucket-sized jars at Costco! lol). I think I’ll need to try these out! And Rice Krispie Squares are always a classic 🙂
Oh and for books, if you haven’t read the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy, you totally should!
Gone Girl – one of the best books I have ever read!!
I wish I could give you a good book recommendation, but I got nothin’.
Nothin’ except a need for nutella pb rice crispy treats that it!
Lame, but necessary. These look ah-may-zing. Anything with pb and chocolate and I am in!
Ooh these look amazing!
I just finished reading ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ which was pretty good, but my all time favourite book is ‘A Little Princess’ by Frances Hodgson Burnett, it’s all about using your imagination to escape the situations you find yourself in 🙂 At the moment I am imagining making these treats in our finished kitchen – roll on next month!
