Hot Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
Well, it’s another snow day in the Northeast.
Dude, this weather is getting really sucky.
The kids are home from school again and while I love the little buggers, they have confiscated my itouch, played every board game known to man, built 13 different “forts” (with my good pillows) and gotten into no less than 427 arguments. Now, like a good mom, I have plopped them down in front of the television to zone out to Scooby Doo reruns.
They were outside sledding earlier, but it always takes no less than 30 minutes to get them bundled up so they can go outside and play for 5.
And I didn’t mention that 22 of those 30 minutes were spent trying to solve the mystery of the missing glove.
I don’t understand how 1 glove can consistently go missing every time I need it.
What never fails, though, is when they come inside from their exhausting 3 minutes of play, they demand hot chocolate.
I am pretty sure that the whole “going outside to play in the snow” is just a carefully hatched scheme devised to get the hot chocolate that they know will inevitably be waiting for them upon re-entrance into the toasty, warm house.
Even I will admit that hot chocolate is a pretty redeeming factor of the snow day.
Chocolate, marshmallow, whipped cream…yes, that is a pretty spectacular beverage.
So since I can’t leave well enough alone, topped with my unusual obsession with cereal desserts I decided to give these a go…
Hot Chocolate Krispies
You’re welcome.
How to Make Hot Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats
Add in your hot chocolate powder right into the marshmallows.
Stir while continuing to cook over low heat until marshmallows are melted and chocolate is mixed in.
Remove from heat.
Add in your 6 cups Cocoa Krispies.
Press that into your pan and add some more marshmallows!
Let cool for 30 minutes and cut into squares.
Store air tight for up to 2 days.
Hope you have a great day, whether it’s snowing, raining, or bright and sunny…
I’ll be here in the 20 degree weather, chiseling the maple syrup off my itouch 🙂

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?
Get 5 Baking Secrets That Will Change Your Life!
What is your secret to getting the rice krispies mixed before starting to get cool? I always end up with marshmallow strings and have to microwave the mix to keep it warm enough until it’s all mixed. Also, do you grease your hands or spatula to push this mix into the pan?
speed 🙂 also I spray a piece of parchment paper with nonstick spray and use that to press it down!
Have you ever tried this with regular Rice Krispies? I love hot chocolate but I’m not into too much chocolate at once. Just wondering if it’s been done. Thanks!
You could easily do that… the chocolate flavor would be significantly less…so if that’s what you’re looking for, it will work!
I just got through making these…OMG there delicious!!! There defiantly a must try, and I didn’t have enough marshmallows to put the one on top only to mix in and they came out just perfect!! Thanks so much for sharing…My next one to try is the CIRCUS cookie one 🙂
OMG! Do yourself a favor and make these with peppermint marshmallows. Crazy, crazy good!!!
Shucks I don’t have cocoa rice krispies, just the plain. I’m going to try it with that, but I love chocolate so I don’t know if this will satisfy me!
These look so delish, will definitely make. You are too funny when talking about the kids, I was cracking up. Having two boys of my own I know exactly what you mean. 🙂
I just spray my hand with Pam and press the mixture into the pan that way. So easy! These are amaze-balls by the way!
Where is the print button for this recipe?????
I need to get that in there 🙂
What a great idea – and I have a jar of homemade cocoa mix that I can use to make them. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
These are amazing! I made them for my husband and sent them to him in Afghanistan. he loved them too!
Thanks for the humor and recipe.

As if a rice krispie treat wasn't good enough already you just had to take it to all new levels of deliciousness.! LOVE IT!!!
Oooh, more marshmallow and chocolate goodness!! Woohoo!!
I agree about the weather…totally sucky! And 20 degrees?! Lucky you. It has finally warmed up to 28 here today after days of single digit temps with wind chills below zero…too cold to let the little ones outside to play. Ah, well at least I had a few day of not having to search for the missing glove.
yummy!
