Ingredients
- 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 15 oz. marshmallows, divided
- 6 cups crisped rice cereal
- 2 to 3 Tbsp. Campfire Hot Chocolate
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Directions
- 1. Line a 9x13" baking dish with parchment paper, then brush with melted butter or coat with cooking spray.
- 2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, swirling pot and stirring with a rubber spatula, until golden and nutty smelling, about 3 more minutes.
- 3. Immediately remove pot from the heat and stir in 3/4 of marshmallows until melted. Stir in cereal, hot cocoa, and salt until well combined, then stir in remaining marshmallows.
- 4. Working quickly, scrape into prepared pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips (if using). Gently flatten with a spatula, but avoid pressing too firmly as it can cause bars to become hard. Let sit at room temperature until firm and set, about 1 hour, before serving.
