A delicious take on the traditional cereal treat are these Chocolate Cake Rice Krispie Treats. For a deep, rich chocolate flavor, they are made with chocolate cake mix and cocoa powder. Ideal for a simple and quick dessert that appeals to adults and children alike.
Ingredients: 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal. 1 package 10 ounces marshmallows. 1/4 cup unsalted butter. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/4 cup chocolate cake mix. 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: Place the mini chocolate chips and Rice Krispies cereal into a large mixing bowl. Put aside. Place the marshmallows and butter in a different microwave-safe bowl and melt them together. Stirring constantly, heat the mixture for 30 seconds at a time until it's smooth and well combined. Smoothly stir the melted marshmallow mixture with the unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate cake mix, and vanilla extract. Drizzle the marshmallow mixture onto the chocolate chips and Rice Krispies. Stir the cereal just enough to coat it evenly with the mixture. Using a spatula to spread the mixture evenly and press it down, transfer the mixture to a 9 by 13-inch baking dish that has been greased. Before slicing the treats into squares, give them about half an hour to cool and set. Present and savor!
