I will admit, I was simply trying to use up a small amount of Cocoa Crispies (off brand, Cocoa Diamonds) left in the box and this yummy treat was born. They came out so good, now the family wants these over the regular kind. They even want these over s’mores. Works for me. So easy, the kids can practically do it themselves!
Chocolate Chip Cocoa Crispy Treats:
3 tablespoons butter – $.75
1 10 oz Pkg regular marshmallows or 4 cups miniature – $1.40
4 cups Rice Krispies – $.75
2 cups Cocoa Krispies – $.50
1/2 Pkg Chocolate Chips (about 6 oz) – $1.00COST: $4.40
In large saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Next, add marshmallows; stir constantly and until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Add white rice cereal, stirring until coated. Add cocoa rice cereal, in a folding motion. Add chocolate chips and quickly mix, also with a folding motion. Go fast, chips will start to melt.
Using lightly-buttered fingers or spatula, press into buttered glass pan (9 x 13 for thin treats or 8 x 8 pan for thicker treats). I spray my pan with Canola oil and it works fine also.
Let cool and cut into squares. Try not to eat them all at once!
GRAND TOTAL: $4.40
