Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats are the best no bake dessert for any chocolate lover. Only 6 ingredients and less than 1 hour to make them!

Line a 9”x13” baking dish with wax paper or parchment paper. Set aside.
Pour the 6 cups cocoa krispie rice cereal into a large mixing bowl, set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the 6 tablespoons unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt when mostly melted.
Stir in the 10 ounces mini marshmallows and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully melted, then stir in the ½ cup chocolate chips
Pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal. Stir quickly until the cereal is coated.
Transfer the cereal bar mixture to the prepared baking dish and gently spread the mixture into an even layer with a rubber spatula. (If the mixture begins sticking, spritz the spatula with the nonstick cooking spray.) Do not press down hard on the mixture, as your treats will be more compact. Allow to cool.

In a small saucepan over low heat or a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds, melt the ¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter together. Drizzle over the bars in a pattern. Sprinkle on the chocolate sprinkles or M&Ms while the chocolate drizzle is still tacky.
Let the treats cool completely, about 45 minutes-1 hour.
Cut into squares with a sharp knife, and enjoy within 2-3 days.

I cut my treats into 2” squares. If you cut yours larger, you will have less. If you cut them smaller, you will have more.
