Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate flavored crispy rice cereal
1 cup milk chocolate chips
¾ cup almonds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch, square baking pan with heavy-duty foil, folding the foil over the edges of the pan.
  • Put butter in pan and melt in oven. Add brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla; stir to mix.
  • Add cereal and stir with a spoon, then mix with fingers until thoroughly coated. Place waxed paper on top and press down gently but firmly.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until entire surface is bubbly. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and let stand for chips to soften.
  • Spread chips, then sprinkle with almonds, pressing gently into chocolate. Let cool until just warm, then refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight before cutting.
  • Using foil as a lifter, remove from pan and, without inverting (almond would peel off), peel off foil. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.

Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 9 large or 12 small bars

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 10-ounce bag large marshmallows
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
6 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Kellogg's Rice Krispies
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup dried cherries, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Line a 9-by-9-inch square baking pan with nonstick aluminum foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each end to lift the finished treats out of the pan. You may need to use 2 sheets to cover the entire pan.
  • 2. Put the marshmallows and butter in a large pot and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the almond extract. Add the cereal and continue to stir until well coated. Stir in most of the chocolate chips (reserve 1 tablespoon for sprinkling over the top) and the chopped cherries. Spoon into the foil-lined pan and press firmly with your hands until the treats are even. Sprinkle on the remaining 1 tablespoon chocolate chips and press them into the top with your hands. Cool at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • 3. Using the foil overhang, lift the treats out of the pan and cut with a butter knife into 9 or 12 bars.
