Nutella Rice Krispy Squares

I was looking around at Pinterest and noticed this recipe and thought, "Hey, I have most of those ingredients, in varying amounts." The recipe is from the blog "chef-in-training" (click here for her link). Her squares came out much better than mine did -- and she even iced hers. But this will give you an idea of what mine looked like and yes, they were yummy!!

5 to 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal (I had about 5 or so)
1 (10.5 oz) bag of mini marshmallows (mine had some taken out for cocoa!)
1/4 cup butter
1 heaping cup of Nutella spread -- (I had half a small jar left; the other half went into some butter cream icing!!)

Melt butter and marshmallows together over medium heat until melted and smooth. 


Once the marshmallows and butter have melted, add the Nutella and stir until well combined.

Pour chocolate mixture over the Rice Krispies. Stir to coat (this is where I figured I needed MORE melty stuff and less dry stuff because it didn't completely cover the cereal).


Press into a greased 9" x 13" pan. Refrigerate until set and YUM! I took these to work and they were gobbled up quickly. Pretty delicious. My mother used to make Rice Krispy squares for us when we were little and she always added a square of unsweetened chocolate to cut the sweetness. These reminded me of those but much sweeter.
