When things start to fall on you when you open the pantry door, you know some action must be taken.\u00a0 A box of Rice Krispies came sliding out of the pantry yesterday while I was trying to reach something else that was stashed underneath it.\u00a0 As fate would have it, my Martha Stewart cookie of the Day recipe was Crispy Chocolate Marshmallow Treats<\/a>.\u00a0 The ingredient list is simple and short: butter, marshmallows, cocoa, rice krispies and semi-sweet chocolate.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t expecting these to be anything special, but they were so much better than a normal rice krispy.\u00a0 These are more adult in flavor, and not as gooey and sticky as the original.\u00a0 I used Hershey’s dark cocoa and drizzled semi-sweet chocolate on top. \u00a0The chocolate makes them decadent, dense and delicious.<\/p>\n

There are some tricks to any kind of marshmallow laden goodies. \u00a0Marshmallow is sweet and delicious, but also quite sticky and hard to work with. \u00a0I use Crisco to grease my pan so that the treats come out easier. \u00a0I also chill them in the fridge for about 30 minutes before slicing them. \u00a0If possible, turn the entire pan out onto a cutting board so that you can make easier cuts through the bars. \u00a0I think next time I will try adding toasted pecans or maybe peanuts to these bars. \u00a0They are terrific as they are, pure and simple chocolate, so it’s a tough call. \u00a0These are quick, easy and don’t require an oven. \u00a0You have no excuse not to try them!<\/p>\n
