Chocolate Cereal Bars

SUBMITTED BY: Gretchen Hickman

"'A little bit of chocolate and cocoa goes a long way to give Rice Krispies treats a scrumptious new twist,' says Gretchen Hickman of Galva, Illinois. 'I especially like these bars because they are crisp, not sticky. They disappear in a flash whenever I serve them.'"

Followed it exactly and it wasn't quite as sweet as I would have liked (but maybe that's just me). I took it to a treat potluck and they were the first treat to disappear!! Thanks!

Good Recipe. I used Chocolate Chex Cereal. I didn't have unsweetened chocolate, so I simply increased the Baking Cocoa to 1/2 Cup. Also made a topping by melting 1/2 bag of Semi-Sweet Chips and 1/2 Bag of Butterscotch Chips together in microwave on defrost, stirring occasionally until smooth and melted. I spread it over the top and it made a nice addition.

The only reason it doesn't get the 5 stars is because I really had to do a lot of figuring to get 24 servings sizes to match up the exchange for the fat values and diabetic exchange. It would be helpful the have the size in addition to the number of servings. Great tasting snacks.
