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.

Here is the highlight that I made this week other than the "Weekly Cookie"

It's a cookie dough rice krispy treat. It has a rice krispy bottom with a chocolate cookie dough (no eggs involved) top.

Here are some highlights of items that I made this week other than the "Weekly Cookie"

It was one of my co-worker's birthdays this week so she requested an all chocolate creation. The cupcakes include a cake mix, sour cream, and cinnamon. The frosting is store bought.

We got invited to a football party this weekend and I couldn't go due to work but I wanted to still make something to send with my husband. These are Butterfinger Rice Krispy Treats. The rice krispy layer includes melted candy corn, peanut butter, marshmallows, and rice krispies. The topping is melted chocolate chips and Butterfinger pieces.
