Chocolate Rice Krispies with Bittersweet Chocolate Drizzle
Happy Tuesday! I'm in complete denial that Christmas is coming soon. Complete denial. I turned on the TV and saw "It's a Wonderful Life" playing...and wondered why they were showing that! I think Los Angeles' recent heat wave (it was 80+ degrees) didn't help any. But today it will be freezing ;) with temperatures below 70 degrees! Bundle up Los Angeles! So, the little Santa hat on these treats is the start of my holiday spirit.
The official name is Crispy Chocolate-Marshmallow Treats thereby avoiding all mention of name brands. But everyone knows it's Chocolate Rice Krispies made with Valrhona Dutch Cocoa and Trader Joe's Bittersweet Chocolate.
My oven is still out of commission. Ugh. Sorry for the lack of Tuesdays with Dorie today, but here is another no-bake treat. (Dude, remember yesterday's Christmas Jello? It was mentioned on the LA Times Food section blog, The Daily Dish! So cool!!)
Add cocoa powder to your usual Rice Krispies treat and top with a bit bittersweet chocolate. What can be easier? In the holiday season, you can even toss a few Christmas sprinkles on top!
I put them in individual cupcake holders (I buy them in 500 count packages at the restaurant supply store) to make them easier to grab at the library.
Have a great day! - mary the food librarian

Sounds yummy. Chocolate krispies. A nice Christmas present for someone. Yes, in California it's hard to get into the Christmas spirit with a bathing suit on. I remember it well.
Retro chic Miss Mary....nice work.
These look like they are begging to get stuck in my teeth. And I can't WAIT!
That one on the left is looking very festive, by the way. ^_^
They fantastic! I'd never be able to stop at just one!
Hmmmm - super delish! I wish we were having a heat wave in NYC right now. It's freakin cold up in here!
