I've had these treats that were made following the basic Rice Krispie recipe but substituting cocoa krispies for the original Rice Krispie cereal. They were okay, but not great. This version is so much better! The cocoa, salt and vanilla were the perfect addition! I will make my cocoa krispie treats like this from now on!

Love--gooey, chewy, chocolate-y goodness. Didn't stay around long.

This is a great use for leftover cereal, this tasted great but did find it very sticky & hard to separate once cut into squares, probably best to cut this as you need it to avoid it all sticking together. Thanks for posting this simple to prepare treat!
