Chocolate Nutella Rice Krispie Treats

 

Last week was Opening Day for the Orioles, and we celebrated by having some friends over to watch the game. Tyler is so excited that baseball is starting again, and I must say that I enjoy watching the games more than I admit. Leah is going to be an Orioles fan as well =) The onesie she is wearing was part of Tyler's Christmas gift this year. 

After the game, we all ate stromboli and then munched on these yummy rice krispie treats. They were great for something different and I enjoyed all of the toppings with the rice krispies.

Chocolate Nutella Rice Krispie Treats

6 Tablespoons Salted Butter 

10 ounces, weight Large Marshmallows 

1/8 teaspoon Salt 

1/3 cup Nutella 

6 cups Rice Krispies 

1-1/2 cup Miniature Marshmallows 

1 cup Pecans, Finely Chopped 

5 ounces, weight Semi Sweet Chocolate Melted

1. Melt 4 tablespoons in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add marshmallows and salt and stir until melted. Halfway through the melting process, add Nutella. When Nutella and marshmallows are melted, add additional two tablespoons of butter and stir until smooth.

2. Meanwhile, melt semi-sweet chocolate over a double boiler until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool quite a bit.

3. Add Rice Krispies to a large bowl and fold in the Nutella mixture. When it's almost all combined, add mini-marshmallows to the bowl, then continue folding until everything's combined.

4. Immediately press mixture into a thoroughly greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Sprinkle with half the pecans. Drizzle semi-sweet chocolate in zig-zags all over the top of the treats. Sprinkle the other half on top.
Allow to set, then cut into squares.
