Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

Yvonne Ruperti

Notes:

  • Either an 8x8 or 9x9-inch pan will work for this recipe.
  • When folding puffed rice cereal into mixture, stir gently so as not to crush the cereal too much.
  • When folding in the chopped bittersweet chocolate at the end, some of the chocolate may melt into the mixture.
  • Lightly greasing a rubber spatula will help keep the mixture from sticking.
