Chewy homemade chocolate Nutella rice crispy treats!
Yesterday, I met a boy who said he hated chocolate.
It made me sad. I went home and ate two nutella rice krispy treats.
After that, I felt much better 😉
Do you know anyone who doesn’t like chocolate?
Although I don’t understand them, I love finding people who don’t like chocolate… it just means there is more for me.
These ultra chocolatey Nutella crispy treats could not be easier to make. Simply combine everything together, and press into an 8×8 pan. There’s no baking required, and you only need 6-7 ingredients!
Nutella Rice Crispy Treats
Try these chewy homemade chocolate Nutella rice crispy treats as a kid friendly snack.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Yield 9 – 10 bars
Ingredients
- 3 cups rice crispies
- 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup store bought or Homemade Nutella
- 1/2 cup agave or honey
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder OR chocolate protein powder
- optional melted chocolate for dipping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients but the rice crispies. Melt to a stir-able consistency (either in the microwave or on the stove), then pour over the cereal and stir very well, making sure to coat all the crispies. Line an 8×8 pan with wax or parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly into the pan. Place a sheet of wax or parchment paper on top, then press down as firmly as you can. Really press it down! Freeze for at least a half hour before slicing, and store the homemade bars in the fridge or freezer. Dip bottoms in melted chocolate if desired.View Nutrition Facts

I’m not a big fan of chocolate. Ill take gummy bears over chocolate any day. I do love your recipes though and have been using the oatmeal ones as of late

My little brother cant stand chocolate. He was adopted and when my mom met his paternal grandmother she told her that and said his dad was the same was. I guess it is something in their genes 😀 that means more for me
Andy says
What brand of brown rice krispies did you use? Trying to find the healthiest option that’s out on the market. Thanks!
Anonymous says
I noticed on the nutrition facts that each serving has 9.9 grams sugar – is a serving 1/10 of the whole? Does the 9.9 grams of sugar include the Agave and sugar from the cereal or is it just the sugar from the nutella?
Nadia says
Hi Katie these were very delicious! However mine are quite messy to handle and didn’t really harden up? I used exactly the same ingredients as you even the healthy nutella and they also don’t seem to be as thick as yours – any tips?
Thanks again for the great recipe!

Hey Nadia, I saw your post and thought I’d let you know that we used Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut Butter and they turned out great. Although next time I will omit the 1/8 tsp salt, little to salty for us…I’m sure it has something to do with perhaps the different Nutella??? But they are really good!!
Rachael says
Just made these, but used pb2 instead of the hazelnut spread, and they are awesome!
Judy young says
I love all your recipes most of them are so easy
I look forward to your blog everyday. And I can’t wait for your cookbook to come out
Regards

Rach says
Just made these, ended up using half hazelnut spread and half peanut by accident (bought the wrong spread). But it has still ended up tasting great! Hard to believe its good for me 🙂
Wendy says
Just made these tonight with my 5 year old girl and they were fabulous!
It wasn’t overly sweet and it had a deep chocolate flavor.
We’re looking forward to trying your other recipes! : )
Thank you for sharing!
Leslie says
Does the recipe really call for 2.5 tsp of vanilla? Seems like an awful lot… Love your recipes so far, keep ’em coming!
JJ says
This recipe is…Genius! It is so easy to make, comes out perfect, fulfills the rice crispy bar itch that vegetarians couldn’t scratch due to gelatin in the marshmallows and other unmentionables (Yes, I know Trader Joe’s has gelatin free marshmallow rice bars, but is there healthy Nutella type spread in it? Case closed.), has hazelnut/chocolate spread (that’s enough right there), cocoa…
I skipped the dipping in chocolate due to a healthy dose of chocolate from cleaning the bowls:) And, they are ready for Super Bowl tomorrow! Probably not quite as healthy as Black Bean Brownies, but another crowd pleaser, for sure. I love the new cookbook, of course. Thanks!
Kay says
love the sounds of this recipe! Think there’s room to add coconut oil? I need some good fats for my son with cystic fibrosis and he’s a sweet eater. Thanks!
Unofficial CCK Helper says
Sure! Add a tbsp or two to the batter.
Kenzie says
Hi Katie!
I was just wondering if you had an idea how I could replace Nutella in this recipe by any chance? I do not have any on hand at the moment!!
Thank you SO much!
Unofficial CCK Helper says
Peanut butter or chocolate peanut butter.
melinda says
how many servings is in this recipe?
Kimberly says
Ta-Daaaaa! Here I am. Probably your only subscriber/cookbook owner who doesn’t like chocolate. But guess who does. My husband . He is a chocaholic in every sense of the word. At least once a week I make something from your book or blog for him and he devours every bite. Thank you for all that you’ve created.
EFS says
I made these today and they are unbelievable! I don’t think I’ll eat regular Rice Krispie treats ever again! Thanks Katie!
Kat says
These are AMAZING! Recipe is so easy, and much less messy than I expected. My kids love them, my husband and I love them! They are very rich and chocolaty. Last night we sliced the bars in half and spread on peanut butter and a tiny pinch of salt…it was like eating a Wachamacallit Candy bar!
Bobbie says
Thanks so much for this recipe! I add 1/2 cup of peanut butter too. My kids love them!
Debra says
I just made these this afternoon for this evening’s dinner – WOW!
Easy, quick, delicious – doesn’t get any better!
I used the ‘bad’ Nutella, but am definitely making my own for next time to cut down on the sugar content.
Thx for a great simply great recipe!
