Chocolate Rice Krispie Squares

Chocolate Rice Krispie Squares

Ingredients:
butter, without salt
candies, marshmallows
vanilla extract
cocoa, dry powder, unsweetened
cereals, oats, regular and quick, unenriched, cooked with water (includes boiling and microwaving), without salt
spartan, real semi-sweet chocolate baking chips,

Directions:
Grease a 9x13 inch cake pan with butter.
In a large pot, melt the butter and the marshmallows together over low heat, stirring constantly.
When completely melted, add the vanilla and cocoa, stirring until smooth.
Remove from the heat.
Pour in the cereal and chocolate chips and with a wooden spoon, stir until combined.
Rub some butter on your hands and pack the warm mixture into the pan, pressing it down.
Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
I store these babies in the pan at room temperature, with a good covering of Saran wrap on them.
For extra over-the-top chocolatey goodness, you could melt 3 oz.
of chocolate chips and drizzle it over the top.
Let cool and then cut into squares.
