We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Grease a 9x9 or 8x8 inch pan with soft butter. Optional: lightly spray a piece of parchment with cooking spray for an easy way to press mixture into pan without it sticking.

  • Step 2: Melt butter in large saucepan over low heat.

  • Step 3: When butter is melted add one full bag of mini marshmallows and then hot chocolate powder. Stir while continuing to cook over low heat until marshmallows are melted and chocolate is mixed in. Remove from heat.

  • Step 4: Mix in all the Cocoa Krispies, stir until all is combined very well, then mix in 2 cups mini marshmallows, stirring until marshmallows are evenly distributed throughout mixture.

  • Step 5: Pour into prepared pan. If you don't have wax or parchment paper just press evenly into pan.

  • Step 6: Immediately spread remaining 2 cups mini marshmallows onto the top of the bars, then press into the mix. Using a tiny strainer held over the bars, dust top of bars with hot chocolate powder.

  • Step 7: Let cool for 30 minutes and cut into squares.

  • Step 8: Store air tight for up to 2 days.
