Ahhhhh…these here chewy and crispy chocolate bars take me right back to the farm. Double Chocolate Marshmallow Crispy Bars were one of my favorite childhood treats, and an especially wonderful find in the kitchen when the school day was done. Paired with a tall glass of cold milk, they were the perfect welcome home.

Ingredients
- ½ c. unsalted butter at room temperature
- ¾ c. sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- ¾ c. all-purpose flour
- 2 T. cocoa
- ¼ tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- 2 c. mini marshmallows
- 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 c. creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 c. Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9” x 13” pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and stir to combine. Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Do not over bake. Sprinkle marshmallows evenly over the top and bake 3 minutes longer. Cool completely on a rack.
- Once pan is cool, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter over low heat, stirring to combine. Pour in the Rice Krispies cereal and spread mixture evenly over the marshmallow layer.
- Once set, cut into bars. They will cut easier if the top layer is allowed time to set up, especially if they are chilled in the refrigerator a bit.
Notes
This is a favorite childhood treat from Mom’s recipe box, a recipe she got from Dinah K. after a church potluck.

I will admit, it’s hard to be good and eat just one! ;)
These look absolutely delicious! I love that little cakyey-cookie thing on the bottom. Mmm.
Now I’m in the mood for a rice krispie treat :P
The bottom is definitely cake-y. Thanks for stopping by, Becca – have a great weekend!

I am so, so glad that I have an open box of rice krispies in my pantry right now that will just have to be used up soon. I think I’ll have no option but to make these. They look to die for.

Again, these look amazing! You’re really good at putting up pictures that make me want chocolate! Another one for the binder for when I’ve finished my degree and haven’t stupidly given up chocolate.

I gave in! I made these this morning. I was told that seeing as Sundays don’t count in the 40 days of lent, I could have chocolate and went full out on these! My housemates loved them and they dissappeared in about 3 hours!!!
Beautiful photo! My Mr. will love these when he gets home from school…errr, I mean work! xo
Thank you, Sherri. Hope the Mr. likes them. ;)
LOVE all the texture and flavors in this bar!
Thanks, Naomi. They’re a pretty fantastic bar, especially for how easy they are to make. Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Thank you, Annemarie! :)

Thanks, Cassie! They’re pretty fun – and very delicious, always disappearing very quickly!
One look at these, and I knew that they must be a part of our Spring Break plans. Seriously. I will be making them within the week. They are calling my name. And, the littles will just fall in absolute love with them. I just know it. Happy Friday!
