Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoons coarse sea salt
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan lightly with butter or cooking spray, and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully melted and just beginning to bubble.
Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan, stirring constantly until they are fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the instant espresso powder, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder, ensuring they are evenly incorporated into the marshmallow mixture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, mixing thoroughly until the chocolate melts and combines with the marshmallow mixture.
Quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring until all the cereal is evenly coated with the mocha-chocolate mixture.
Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing it evenly into the pan using a spatula or wax paper. Be careful not to press too firmly, as this can make the treats too dense.
Sprinkle the coarse sea salt evenly over the top of the treats for a flavor-enhancing touch.
Let the treats cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm.
Once set, cut into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
