Malted Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats

August 5, 2016

As simple of mixing some cocoa powder and malted milk powder into your favorite Rice Krispies treats recipe, malted chocolate Rice Krispie treats are so easy and absolutely delicious!

I’m kind of known for my Rice Krispie treats. Adapted from a recipe in my Smitten Kitchen cookbook, they’re buttery and salty and amazing. I make them for every family birthday, for lots of work lunches, and as many times as possible in-between. With a full stick of butter for an 8-inch pan of Rice Krispie treats, they’re super rich and gooey and have made me fall in love with a treat that I never really cared about before I made them this way. Add in some cocoa powder and malt powder, and you have an amazing, chocolatey treat!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter plus more to butter the pan
  • 1 10-ounce bags miniature marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup malted milk powder
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 6 ounces crisp rice cereal (half of a regular-size box)
  • 1/2 cup malted milk balls, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Use about a teaspoon of butter an 8-inch square pan and set aside. Place the butter in a 4-8 quart Dutch oven set over medium heat and stir until melted. Reserve the butter wrapper and any butter left over from buttering the pan.
  2. Keeping the pan over the heat, stir the marshmallows, malted milk powder, and cocoa powder into the melted butter until the marshmallows are completely melted. Stir in the crisp rice cereal until well combined.
  3. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan. Spread the butter left over from buttering the pan onto the butter wrapper. Use the butter wrapper to press down the top of the treats to level the top. Press the chopped malted milk balls into the top. Cool completely.
  4. When ready to serve, turn the treats out of the pan onto a cutting board. Flip them back over and cut into 16 squares. Keep in the pan, covered with foil, or in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

Don't be tempted to substitute Cocoa Krispies for the cereal and cocoa powder in this recipe. The chocolate flavor isn't as intense and the cereal makes the treats overly sweet.
