nutella rice krispy treats

On Saturday Mitch and I were looking for something fun (but mostly, easy) to do because sometimes we're boring and sometimes we like to be lazy on the weekends (and by we, I mean "I").

While catching up on some blog reading, I came across this recipe for Nutella Rice Krispy treats over at I Love You This Much by Sarah. I was like, ummmm, awesome, we must make these. And so we did. And ohhhhhh mannnnnnn.

You can see Sarah's original post here, but here's the recipe:

I promise we (mostly) resisted the urge to eat this straight out of the jar.

Recipe:
5 cups rice krispies cereal
1 jar marshmallow fluff
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup nutella
1/2 cup peanut butter
6 oz chocolate chips

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium low heat. Add the marshmallow fluff and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring to combine. Pour the marshmallow mixture into a large bowl with the rice krispies, and mix well. Press the mixture into a greased 9*13 baking dish, and let cool at room temperature.
In a double broiler, or heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water, mix peanut butter, nutella and chocolate chips together, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for about one minute, stirring so that the mixture doesn't harden.

Spread on top of rice krispies, and chill in the refrigerator for about one hour.

Holy crap, this was the easiest thing I've ever made in my life and I totally felt like a badass using a double broiler. Me! DOUBLE BROILING SOMETHING! And, okay, sure, I probably shouldn't be too proud of myself for simply melting chocolate and peanut butter in a pan... But, whatever, I totally am.

Pre-sitting in the fridge for an hour. I was excited, it's fine.

Finished product. Yummmm.

Oh, and Mitch helped.

Success. Also, have you ever seen another boy look this good in a backwards cap? Bet you haven't.


Make these now and eat them all in one sitting, y'all. No shame.
