What You’ll Need
Rice Krispies Cereal: this crunchy cereal is, of course, the base for these delicious treats!Marshmallows: Mini marshmallows are the easiest to melt and mix for this recipe. You can also substitute marshmallow creme. Butter: Use unsalted butter. This will be melted along with the marshmallows to create the perfect gooey mixture that keeps everything together (and tastes amazing!). Chocolate Chips: Don’t forget the chocolate chips! These will melt into the mixture to add a chocolatey twist.
Other than that super short ingredients list, all you need to make this recipe is baking pan (I recommend using 9×13), and some wax paper to line it.

Can you freeze chocolate Rice Krispies?
Yes! These treats will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. To ensure they don’t dry out or get freezer burn, I recommend wrapping them in plastic wrap or wax paper, then placing them in a freeze-safe resealable bag. When you’re ready to eat one, just let it thaw out at room temperature for a couple hours. It’ll be good as new!
