Crispy Chocolate Chip Treats

MAKES: 3 dozen crispy treats

PREP: 5 Min

COOK TIME: 1 Hr

Remember those crispy marshmallow-rice cereal treats we all grew up on? Here they are, with chocolate chips. Mmm! And what's even better about these Crispy Chocolate Chip Treats? They're made in the slow cooker!

What You'll Need

1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (10-ounce) bag marshmallows
6 cups crisp rice cereal
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

What to Do

Combine first 4 ingredients in a 3- to 4-quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW setting 1 hour. Stir marshmallow mixture (see Note). Add cereal and chocolate chips, stirring well to coat.
Drop cereal mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls onto wax paper. Let stand until firm or, if you can't wait for the candies to harden at room temperature, try popping them in the fridge for a quick cooldown. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

You can also press cereal mixture into a 9- x 13-inch pan and cut into desired pieces, or scoop out mixture with a cookie scoop. Use cooking spray on spoons, scoops, and hands to help minimize the stickiness.

These sound really good! I was wondering if you think you could add a little peanut butter in there to make them even better. If so, how much would you recommend? Thank you for the great recipes!

Try stiring in a few Reeses pieces. That will give you the p-nut butter taste you are looking for.

I make my krispie treats with a microwave. I spray a large bowl with pam. Put my marshmellows in the bowl, and microwave them for 1 minute 25 seconds. then I add the rice krispies and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula, that has been sprayed with pam. I then add my chocolate chips. I dump the whole thing into a pan and spread and flatten it out with the back of spatula, sprayed with pam. It always turns out great!
