Method
- 01
Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- 02
Place cereal in a large bowl. Add the chocolate chips. Remove 3 cups of mini marshmallows from the bag. Toss 2 1/2 cups of the marshmallows with the cereal and chocolate chips. Set aside the other 1/2 cup to press into the top of the bars later on.
- 03
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the remaining marshmallows. Stir constantly until just barely melted. Remove from heat. Let rest 2 minutes to cool slightly.
- 04
Pour the melted marshmallows over the cereal mixture. Stir until evenly coated. Pour into the prepared pan and flatten with a greased spatula or rolling pin.
- 05
Separate Hershey's squares and then cut them in half. Press the chocolate squares and reserved 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows into the top of the krispie treats. TIP: Place a layer of wax paper on top (to minimize the sticky mess) and then press or roll with rolling pin.
- 06
Cool completely, then cut into squares and serve. Cover and store any leftovers at room temperature up to 5 days.
