Ingredients
- Chocolate: I used semi-sweet chocolate for this recipe, but you can use dairy, dark or white, whatever takes your fancy!
- Vanilla Extract: For sweetness and flavor.
- mini marshemellow: These act as a glue to hold everything together. Mini marshmallows are quicker to melt, but larger ones will work if that's what you have.
- Rice Krispies: For that perfect crunchy bite! You can also make these with other cereal, like cornflakes, if you prefer.
