Choco-mallow

Sometimes you see a recipe and you just have to make it.  It calls to you until you make it, and then you soon realize that you will make this one again and again.  Of course this happened with this recipe.  Extremely easy, addictive (so addictive), who wouldn't love that combination?  And the best part is, you can fill it with anything you like.  I used mini marshmallows and Rice Krispie Treats cereal, but you can add whatever you like for the middle of these bars.  Nuts, caramel, graham crackers and marshmallows (a combination I'm absolutely going to try out), the list can go on and on but I think you get the idea. 

ah yes, chocolate food porn,
my favorite kind

Fudgy - fudgy and amazing and so delicious.  You will be amazed at how easy these are for them to taste this good. 

Choco-mallow

makes (1) 8x8" pan

 

2 2/3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 tbsp light corn syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp espresso powder

1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

1/2 cup Rice Krispies cereal

 

1. Line an 8x8" pan with parchment paper and then spray with cooking spray.
2. In a small saucepan combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, espresso powder, corn syrup and vanilla extract. 
3. Heat over low-medium heat until the chocolate has softened and is almost completely melted.
4. Remove from heat and stir until chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth. 
5. Spread half of the chocolate mixture into prepared pan and spread evenly. 
6. Top with mini marshmallows and cereal (or whatever items you are using), making sure your cereal has gone in between the marshmallows to make one even layer.
7. Spread the remaining chocolate on top of cereal and marshmallows, spreading to the edge of the pan so everything is covered. 
8. Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.  Before cutting, let sit until it comes to room temperature.
