Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter unsalted
1 - 10 ounce bag mini marshmallows
½ cup chocolate chips
5 cups crispy rice cereal I used Rice Krispies
1 tablespoon half and half cream or whole milk (optional)

Instructions

Spray an 8x8 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In large pot on low heat, combine butter, marshmallows, and chocolate chips. Stir often until marshmallows have melted. Add in half and half and stir until mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add cereal and mix until everything comes together and cereal is coated in marshmallow mixture.
Place into the prepared pan, pressing firmly to fill the pan evenly.
Allow to set or chill for 10 minutes before cutting (optional, but highly recommended).

Notes

Adding the half and half cream or whole milk makes combining everything a lot easier.
Use fresh marshmallows for the best results.

SUBSTITUTIONS: If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use 4 ounces of milk chocolate in its place.

STORAGE: Store your Rice Krispie treats in the pan (covered) or wrap each treat individually in plastic wrap. Treats should keep for 2 days at room temperature.
