Mint Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats

I do not know about you, but one of my all time favorite snacks is a Rice Krispies treat! However, I have found something that is even better! It is this recipe for Mint Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats. If you love mint and chocolate, this is one of those MUST try recipes.

I do not know if I will ever make the plain ones again because these just taste so wonderful!

When making this Mint Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats recipe, it is pretty much like you would make the normal ones with just a few things different. I think it is a pretty nice mix of the mint and chocolate, however, feel free to add more or less of the mint if you like. This is made using chocolate Rice Krispies, but if you do not have any, you can use plain and add some cocoa powder in.

This is one of those recipes you will want to make when you have to take a dish somewhere or if you will have a lot of kids in the house to help. It is not a diet friendly recipe, and if you are anything like me, you can not be left alone with these….lol.

1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup Andes Creme De Menthe Baking Chips

Directions:

Spray a 9″x13″ baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
