Ingredients

Scale

Rice Krispie Treat Layer

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 8 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 6 cups Krispie rice cereal (regular or chocolate)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Truffle Layer

  • 1 1/2 cups 10% cream (can use heavier cream if preferred)
  • 3 1/2 cups good semisweet chocolate chips or chunks (dark or milk chocolate optional)

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped nuts
  • Sprinkles
  • Cocoa powder
  • Chopped pretzels
  • Toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line a 9×13-inch pan with tin foil and spray it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Set aside for later.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and mini marshmallows. Microwave on high for 1 minute and then stir. If marshmallows aren’t fully melted, microwave for an additional minute. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and fully melted.
  3. Add Cocoa and Chocolate Chips: Quickly stir in the cocoa powder and 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips until smooth and the chocolate is melted, working promptly to keep the mixture smooth.
  4. Combine with Cereal and Salt: Stir in the Krispie rice cereal and salt until completely combined, ensuring all cereal is coated evenly with the chocolate marshmallow mixture.
  5. Press into Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Use wet hands or a spatula to smooth the surface evenly. Set aside while you prepare the truffle layer.
  6. Make Truffle Layer: In a small pot, heat the cream over medium heat until bubbles appear around the edges (do not boil). Remove from heat and immediately stir in the 3 1/2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips or chunks until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  7. Cool and Pour Truffle: Allow the ganache to sit for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken and cool slightly. Then pour it carefully over the Krispie treat layer, spreading it evenly.
  8. Add Toppings and Chill: Sprinkle your desired optional toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, cocoa powder, chopped pretzels, or toffee bits over the truffle layer. Refrigerate the treats until the truffle layer is set, about 1 to 2 hours.
  9. Serve: Once set, lift the treats from the pan using the foil, cut into squares, and serve.

Notes

  • Use wet hands or a spatula when pressing the rice krispie mixture into the pan to prevent sticking.
  • The choice of chocolate for the truffle layer can be adjusted depending on your sweetness preference; dark chocolate lends a richer flavor, while milk chocolate offers sweetness.
  • For easier cutting, refrigerate fully before slicing to ensure the truffle layer is firm.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
  • You can replace the 10% cream with heavier cream (like 35%) for an even richer truffle ganache.
