I love a good rice krispie treat, so when I came across these I knew I had to make them. I realize they are not low fat or calorie and it isn’t going to help my need to diet, but I just couldn’t resist. They sure do taste good though! The nutella, though obvious, is not overpowering as I feared it might be with so much of it.
The one issues I had, which really isn’t much of an issue since it turned out fine, was that the nutella didn’t seem to want to melt in. I put it back on the burner for a little bit while stirring, taking care not to burn it, and ended up with more of a thick caramel type thing but it worked out fine. I haven’t made many rice krispies so I am not sure how thick the stuff is supposed to be but it did seem a bit on the thicker side. At least I got a major arm workout trying to stir in the cereal lol.
