The only way to make a gooey homemade rice krispie treat any better is to throw in some chocolate chips! These chocolate chip rice krispie treats are undeniably good with the perfect amount of marshmallows and butter.
Equipment
- Large pot, dutch oven, or large microwave safe bowl
- Spatula
- 9 by 13 baking dish
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 10 cups mini marshmallows, divided
- 8 cups rice cereal* Make sure to use gluten free rice cereal for gluten free rice crispy treats.
- 1 cup Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Pinch Kosher salt
Instructions
- Spray the 9 by 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place a sheet of parchment paper the length of the pan inside of it letting the sides hang over. Press it into the pan and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large dutch oven or pot on medium low heat melt the butter, pinch of salt, and 8 cups of mini marshmallows together, stirring occasionally.
- Add the rice cereal to the pot and stir until it's all coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- If you want the chocolate chips to melt slightly add them immediately with 2 cups of mini marshmallows but don't over-stir. If you don't want the chocolate to melt at all wait for the mixture to cool then stir in the mini chocolate chips and 2 cups of marshmallows.
- Use a spatula to scoop the mixture into the greased baking dish. Spray the spatula with a little bit of nonstick cooking spray and gently press the mixture evenly into the dish. Don't press too hard or pack it in.
- Wait 1 hour and then cut and enjoy!
