Why You’ll Love This Easy Fudge Krispies
1. It’s like a bear hug from chocolate heaven.
2. Perfect for when you’re too tired—or tipsy—to make anything complicated.
3. Mix a little, melt a little, crunch a lot. It’s all about balance… right?
How to Make It
Okay, gather ’round the stove and grab your snacks—this is how it’s done. So, you melt some chocolate, right? All ooey and gooey with a slippery stick of butter that just won’t stay on the spoon, but that’s part of the charm. Once that’s smooth, you throw in a sprinkle—nope, a WHOLE handful—of marshmallows. When they kinda puff up and get all melty, you mix everything like you’re conducting a marshmallow symphony. Then, the rice cereal swoops in like the crunchy hero it truly is. Stir it all up until it’s all covered in that liquid gold chocolatey magic. Now, warn the impatient mouths waiting that playing with hot fudge might lead to sticky fingers… but isn’t that the fun part?
Ingredient Notes
– Marshmallows: These are the stars of the gooey show. And yes, I’ve set a couple on fire accidentally—watch those suckers!
– Chocolate Chips: Dark, milk, or semi-sweet—it’s your life. I’ve even mixed them in a chocolatey frenzy and it rocked.
– Rice Cereal: No subs, sorry. I tried crushed pretzels once, and let’s just say, never again.
Recipe Steps
1. Melt the chocolate and butter together. Try not to spill chocolate on your shirt.
2. Add the marshmallows and stir until they melt into a gooey mess.
3. Stir chocolate-marshmallow mix into the rice cereal until everyone’s nicely coated.
4. Spread into a pan and try not to eat the whole thing before it sets.

Tips & Mistakes
Storage Tips
So, if you happen to have leftovers (good luck with that), just toss them in an airtight container. Snacking on them cold is surprisingly delightful. And if you’re eyeing them for breakfast—yes, you’re officially my spirit animal.
Variations and Substitutions
Folks, I’ve improvised with honey instead of sugar when the sweet stash ran out and it worked beautifully! If you’re out of butter, a smidge of coconut oil does the trick too. Once, I skipped marshmallows out of pure desperation… and yeah, I wouldn’t recommend that.
