BUTTERSCOTCH RICE KRISPIES® BARS

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE RICE KRISPIE BARS
These chocolate Rice Krispies treats are crowd pleasers! The secret to making them soft and chewy is bringing the sugar mixture just to a boil and then cooking for only one minute. If it boils too long, they tend to be firmer and can become crumbly. -Dawn Lowenstein, Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania
