Cherry Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats

Confession:  I never really loved Rice Krispies treats.  Sure, they’re crunchy and sweet and full of that snap-krackle-POP!, but I just couldn’t jump on that bandwagon.

Until now.  Turns out all you gotta do to change my mind these days is add a little extra chocolate.  Who knew?  Just toss in some tart dried cherries and looks like Heather’s going home happy in the dessert department.

 

And if Heather ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.  At least that’s what we’re going with today.  Tomorrow could be different…I’ll be sure to let you know 😉

Since summer’s coming along nicely (minus that falling snow right now…) I figure easy desserts are the way to go.  Plus, since our oven takes approximate 12 bajillion hours to cool down after being turned off, no-bake desserts are kind of my new thing.  As of last night.

 

Anything to keep the house cool, right?

CHERRY CHOCOLATE RICE KRISPIES TREATS

  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 4 heaping cups mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried cherries
  • 1 tsp salt

In a saucepan melt the butter over low heat.  Add the marshmallows and, stirring constantly, melt them completely.  Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies and salt.  Fold in the chocolate and cherries at the end, being careful not to melt the chips too much.  Press into a greased 9×13 pan and let cool completely before eating.

 

Or don’t.  I won’t judge.

Remember guys, it’s all about a cool house – the cooler it is the more dessert you can comfortably eat!

    The chocolate cherry combination is one of my very favorites! What a great spin on the classic rice krispie treat! My children may not love them, but that’s ok…that means there will be more for me! 😉

    These look heavenly! I would have never though to add such things to rice krispies, but it surely is genius!

    This looks so good. But the problem is my sweet, but finicky hubby. He loooves Rice Krispy treats. I learned early on in my marriage not to use anything other than Jet Puff marshmallows. He can tell. It’s kinda scary. 🙂 LOL! Maybe I’ll try these on time along with a regular batch.

    YUM! These remind me of some insane blondies that my mother used to make with dark chocolate, dried cherries and coconut flakes. I bet these were awesome: you’ve made rice crispy treats sophisticated!

    Love the chocolate and cherry combo almost as much as I love you and your sense of humor. Oh, we would be inseparable if we lived close to each other!

    Oh i love this idea. Rice Krispies Treats remind me so much of being a kid. And with some chocolate and dried fruit they are made that much more adult-friendly. Yum!

    Especially the Captain Crunch and Fruity Pebbles variety. 😉

    I can never wait for things to cool! And those look way to good to let sit there longer than .2 seconds.

    YUM! I always loved rice crispy treats and this cooked up version sounds awesome. My high school boyfriend’s mom would always make us rice crispy treats almost every weekend for 4 years. I never once got burned out. I love them! 🙂
