How to Make Cocoa Rice Krispies Treats
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
- Add 10 ounces (about 4 cups) of marshmallows and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir constantly until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated and no streaks remain.
- Add 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal and stir gently but thoroughly until all cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula (silicone is recommended) to press the mixture down firmly and evenly into the dish.
- Let the treats cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares.
