There are those things that we adore in childhood and then leave behind as we grow and mature. I would guess that most of us don’t play hopscotch anymore and Koolaide isn’t really on my 5 p.m. priority list.
But Krispie Treats? Now those, THOSE are different. They are as much a part of my life now as they were in 1965. More so because now I have the freedom to make two pans and hide one for myself.
What’s not to like? Sweet, crispie, gooey, easy, fast, and cheap – they embody all that is perfect in a sweet snack food. Except one or two little things. Chocolate and booze.
Well, now you can have both.
These chocolate and Kahlua crispie treats are addictive and rich, just as gooey as you remember but with the added luxury of chocolate and Kahlua. They go together just as quickly as the original but the result is so, so, SO good.
Crisp, gooey cereal bars just like your remember but updated with Kahlua and chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 10 ounces marshmallows
- 1/4 cup Kahlua
- 6 cups chocolate crisp rice cereal
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan.
