Nutella Rice Krispie Treats

By

Ingredients

  • Treats:
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies (or 3 cups Rice Krispies and 3 cups Chocolate Puffed Rice)
  • 1 bag (10.5-oz) miniature marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces) unsalted butter
  • 1.25 cup generous Nutella
  • Topping: (Optional)
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped chocolate
  • 1 Tbs trans-fat free shortening (or paraffin)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Measure the cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Melt the marshmallows and butter together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the Nutella and stir until combined. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal stirring well to evenly coat the cereal. Pour into the prepared pan and use a small buttered piece of waxed paper or the back of a spoon sprayed with cooking spray to press evenly into pan.

2. In a small sauce pan melt the remaining 1 cup of Nutella, shortening and chopped chocolate over medium/medium low heat. When the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, pour over the cereal mixture. Gently spread the chocolate topping evenly across the top of the krispies.

3. Allow the chocolate to set, then cut into squares and serve.
