Chocolate Marshmallow Chex Square

These quick and easy snack bars take good old fashioned rice krispie treats to the next level and make a great gift too for neighbors and friends over the holidays.

2.5 cups rice Chex cereal
1/4 cup unsalted butter
4.5 cups small marshmallows
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup chocolate chunks
1/4-1/2 cup small marshmallows (for topping)
powdered sugar (for dusting)

• Line a small square baking pan with foil 
• Rub with a little butter or oil to prevent sticking or use some naturally non-stick parchment paper!
• In a medium pot, melt butter over medium-low heat.
• Add 4.5 cups marshmallows 
• Whisk/stir until smooth and melted, about 5 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat.
• Using a moistened spoon, fold in the cereal.
• Add the chocolate, salt, and an extra 1/4-1/2 cup of marshmallows
• Fold it in as well, moving fast as the gooey melted marshmallow will set fast.
• Spoon onto your baking pan and press into an even layer, as thin or thick as you would like.
• Use a sifter or dusting wand to dust with powdered sugar and allow to cool.
• Cut into squares
