Chocolate Rice Krispies

4 tablespoons unsalted butter 10.5 ounce bag of mini marshmallows (5 1/2 cups worth) 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder heaping 1/2 cup chocolate chips 5 cups rice krispies cereal 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

Line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or foil (or spray it very well with cooking spray). In a large pot, add the butter, marshmallows and cocoa powder. Turn the heat to medium high, and melt while stirring continuously. The mixture should become one sticky, gooey mess. Delicious! Stir in the chocolate chips until melted. Add the rice krispies cereal to the pot one cup at a time, and then stir, stir, stir. It'll be sticky and messy. You're doing it right! Press the warm gooey mixture into the baking dish, using buttered hands to flatten it evenly. Sprinkle the sea salt on top, and then let rest for 2 hours before cutting (yeah, right).
