February 7: Fabulous Four-Ingredient Bars

Fabulous Four-Ingredient Bars

Ingredients:
8 tablespoons (4 oz) unsalted butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 (10 oz) package marshmallows
6 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies

1. Line a 9 by 13-inch pan with nonstick foil.
2. In a large, microwave-safe mixing bowl, microwave the butter on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until melted. Add the chocolate chips to the melted butter and stir well. Microwave on high, stirring at 30-second intervals, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Add the marshmallows. Microwave on high for 30 seconds and stir until the marshmallows are completely melted. Stir in the cereal. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly, pressing down slightly. Let cool and set. Lift from the pan, set on a cutting board, and cut into 36 squares.

Thoughts: Another no bake recipe except this came out much better in consistency and taste. These are basically chocolate Rice Krispy treats. The only differences are they are not as hard (easier to cut) and they are sweeter than normal plain Rice Krispy treats. I recommend this recipe to anyone who is bad at baking.
