Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes plus time to cool
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 12 to 16

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons butter
• 50 regular-size marshmallows
• 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips (divided)
• 6 cups chocolate puffed rice cereal (like Cocoa Krispies)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Here's how to make it: 

1. Melt the butter over low heat in a large pot. Add 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and stir to melt. You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips.
2. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Turn off the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Add the cereal and stir until well combined. Stir in 1/2 cup more of the chocolate chips. If you don't want them as chocolatey, use regular puffed rice cereal.
4. Press the mixture into a buttered 13x9-inch baking pan. If you want thicker treats, use a 9x9-inch baking pan. Use the butter wrapper to press the cereal into the pan. If you don't have a butter wrapper, use buttered hands or a buttered spatula.
5. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips. Let them cool completely before cutting into squares. Store the cereal treats in an airtight container.
