Chocolate Nutty Crispy Treats

(1)

This is a unique, highly-addictive variant of the traditional 'chocolate rice crispy treat.' You can do this 2 ways: Mix the chocolate chips into the rice to have chocolate throughout, or wait until the treats cool, then spread melted chocolate chips on top and cool for a hard, shell-like frosting. I prefer the latter...

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 cup corn syrup (such as Karo®)

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips

  • 1 cup almond butter

  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal

Directions

  1. Mix corn syrup and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate chips and almond butter until melted.

  2. Put rice cereal in a large bowl; mix in almond-chocolate mixture. Pour cereal mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish; cool for 1 hour before serving.

Cook's Notes:

You can use cashew butter, if you like.

If you prefer your chocolate on the outside, save the chocolate chips until after the treats are cool. Melt them in a microwave-safe bowl or in a saucepan and spread them on top.
