Chocolate Hazelnut Rice Crispy Treats are a fun twist on childhood favorite, easy to make, no bake and only 4 ingredients!
You guys, my older son graduated from Kindergarten this week. What in the heck?! Where did the last 5 years go? No, seriously? WHERE.
OK, collecting myself.
His school is an amazing little cooperative elementary school in Seattle with lots and lots of outdoor time, a strong focus on social-emotional learning and a rich community of caring, involved parents and teachers who know every single child and love them for who they are. They do super cool stuff. Like have an indoor camping sleepover to celebrate the end of school for the Kindergarteners and 1st graders with their teachers and some parent chaperones.
My little guy is just a wee bit obsessed with marshmallows right now. So when Peanut Butter and Co. reached out to me and asked me to partner with them to develop a recipe for their new Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, Chocmeister, I saw a perfect opportunity to recreate one of my favorite childhood treats in a new way and deliver a delicious treat to the kids for their big indoor camping adventure.
These Chocmeister Chocolate Hazelnut Rice Crispy treats have only four ingredients and are no-bake. If you grew up on the classic rice crispy treats like I did, you will love this version! My son said that everyone loved the treats. Plus, he came home with an empty bag and you know kids don’t lie about dessert.
NOTES:
- Chocmeister comes in both Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate and I tested this recipe with both. My son preferred the Milk Chocolate so I went with that for this recipe since it was for his friends. My husband and I really liked the Dark Chocolate so I recommend using whichever is your preference or a combo of both!
- Junk free marshmallows can be hard to find or super expensive. I usually get them at Whole Foods but if you live near a Trader Joe’s, they just started stocking a pretty decent marshmallow for much cheaper!
- Storage: If it’s particularly warm in your kitchen, I recommend storing in the fridge until about an hour or two before eating.
- Here is a plain Gluten Free Rice Krispies recipe in case you need one of those!
